The national council of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, expelled national council  member Kiril Dobrev  from the BSP with 106 “for” and 61 “against”. Kiril Dobrev is a prominent critic of Korneliya Ninova, who handed in her resignation as leader of the BSP.

“This is a way to test all people loyal to the party’s leadership and to instil fear into anyone aspiring after a post in the government or in the party,” Vesela Lecheva, member of the BSP national council commented for the BNR. In her words a process of getting rid of all  inconvenient people, who could jeopardize Korneliya Ninova’s post, has been taking place within the party in the past two years.
