MRF - New Beginning leader Delyan Peevski told journalists in Parliament that his coalition will not participate in the run-off for the chairperson of the 51st National Assembly on Friday. He also called on the parties to "resolve the issue" with the election.

After GERB-UDF withdrew its candidate Raya Nazaryan, the run-off was contested between Natalia Kiselova, nominated by BSP - United Left, and Silvi Kirilov from There Is Such a People.

Peevski argued that Petkov and Vasilev’s goal was to stay in Parliament at all costs, hiding and covering up their roberries.

“There is no longer any thought for the people. I call, if there is any sense left, for something to happen today, to get over with the roulette wheel and to go to elections, because people are watching what MPs are doing. MPs are becoming a disgrace - we will not participate in this,” Peevski said.

“Let no one hide what Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) did with Bozhidar Bozhanov, Nadezhda Yordanova, Atanas Atanassov,” Peevski said, noting that Wednesday CC-DB "voted together with the pro-Russian party Vazrazhdane."

“All their supporters should know it and be ashamed of their MPs,” Peevski added.
