At a briefing, We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB), which will likely be the second political force in parliament, urged all parties and parliamentary groups to clearly state that they will never work with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) – New Beginning under any form whatsoever.

“We are installing a cordon sanitaire around Delyan Peevski,” said PP co-chairman Kiril Petkov. “We are seeing massive abuse. We have a party which, if we had institutions which are functioning properly, would not be in parliament. The scale of vote-buying, of voter coercion by employers is genuine evidence of the abuse of democracy,” said Kiril Petkov. PP/DB will send a declaration to the other parties so they will commit to not entering into coalition with Delyan Peevski and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms – New Beginning. PP/DB stated further that they will demand the formation of ad-hoc commissions in the next parliament to investigate the manipulation of the election process.
