Movement for Rights and Freedoms – New Beginning (MRF-New Beginning) leader Delyan Peevski supports President Rumen Radev’s call for the competent institutions to make public all data and facts about how the early parliamentary elections were conducted on October 27.

According to President Radev, the results of the elections have caused tensions and have raised questions about the fairness of the vote.

In a statement circulated by his party on Thursday, Peevski said: “As MRF leader representing nearly 300,000 voters - Bulgarians, Turks, Pomaks and Roma, I expect convincing answers from the caretaker government, the Interior Ministry and the security services, which should immediately provide information about whether there were cases of vote buying or corporate-controlled voting, or influence exerted upon or through representatives of local authorities or businesses, which ought to be investigated with the utmost severity of the law.”

Peevski also said: “I share the concern that the Bulgarian public is not receiving satisfactory answers and there is growing anxiety and distrust due to the tension created in the public domain over the fairness of the elections, on the one hand, and over the failure of the institutions to shed light on the real situation, on the other hand.”
