The former honorary leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), Ahmed Dogan, who founded the movement in 1990, and the people around him are no longer part of the DPS. This was what the chairman of the DPS parliamentary group, Delyan Peevski, said. 

"They are no longer part of the DPS, as they are already on the lists of another party. This case is closed. I say clearly that this person and the people around him are not from the DPS," Peevski told journalists. Commenting on a statement by MEP Ilhan Kyuchuk (from Dogan's circle), made on the air of the BNR, that Peevski was never a member of the DPS, he replied: "Look, I will not answer to small children raised by me".

Delyan Peevski refused to comment on the information that the US has reconfirmed his inclusion in the list of sanctioned persons under the Magnitsky Act, as well as on questions about the bankruptcy of the Bulgartabac company controlled by him.
