I want to tell all Bulgarians that [MRF-New Beginning leader Delyan] Peevski is neither as scary nor as strong, and if they stop fearing him, he'll be a "Mr. Nobody". With this verbal demonstration I wanted to show the Bulgarian people that there is nothing scary - this man is bluffing, he pretends to be strong, his strength comes from the fact that he expects others to be afraid of him," Continue the Change co-leader Kiril Petkov said here on Friday in connection with the exchange of remarks between him and Delyan Peevski in Parliament. 

Petkov said that he told Peevski that [Peevski] had bought some 200,000 votes in the October 27 snap parliamentary elections. 

Regarding the negotiations with GERB-UDF, Petkov once again pointed out that CC would not back down from the declaration demanding a "sanitary cordon" around Peevski and his MRF-New Beginning. GERB cannot get away from our declaration, which means that we do not see as legitimate a party that has bought, in our opinion, 200,000 votes," Petkov said. In his words, the declaration shows that without justice, this country can not move forward. GERB should say that the MRF-New Beginning is illegitimately elected, Petkov insisted, pointing out that the whole country cannot become hostage to this attitude.
