Dogan’s group withdraws from power, Borisov will decide on an open collaboration with Peevski
Ahmed Dogan’s faction has removed his confidence from the Government Zhelyazkov and comes out of the management structure. According to Dnevnik, minutes ago, the Central Operational Bureau (CBS) and the MRF-DPS parliamentary group decided to finally leave power. So exactly 89 days after the oath of the cabinet, the formal majority behind it disappeared, shrinking up to 102 votes, with as much as GERB, BSP and « there is such a people ».
However, the informal support, which promises the leader of the MRF – a new beginning, Delyan Peevka, guarantees a stable management.

Meanwhile, a few hours before the Dogan group’s decision, the Socialists gave a briefing that made it clear that Peevski’s support was not bothering them, although the BSP had signed a declaration of sanitary border around the US and Britain sanctioned leader of the MRF – New Start. Red leader Atanas Zafirov even stated that the governing « would » would not allow pressure either inside or outside. «

And if the Socialists have announced that they have no concern, it is not clear at that time whether ITN will agree to stay in a government depending on Delyan Peevski, as the group has also signed the Sanitary Cordon declaration. In addition, on January 16 (Cabinet’s Oath – BA), party leader Slavi Trifonov announced: « I will not make any agreements and I will not even talk to Delyan Peevski and his party« At this point, the television presenter defended the government, claiming that it had no influence of » New Beginning « and Peevski.
The MRF-DPS is part of the cabinet with a single motive-as a guarantor that Peevski has no influence in the executive branch. The moment he felt that he had some involvement in power, they would just withdraw their support.
