The Honorary Chairman of DPS Ahmed Dogan called on the Chairman of DPS Delyan Peevski to resign. This was announced by DPS-Dogan.
In addition to Peevski’s resignation, Dogan also requested in his letter those of the party’s deputy chairmen, Halil Letifov, Stanislav Anastasov, Hamid Hamid, the deputy head of the group, Erten Anisova, and the member of the Central Operational Bureau and mayor of Belica, Radoslav Revanski.
Here is Ahmed Dogan’s full position:
Dear Despatches!
We are experiencing a serious crisis in the organizational life of the party. This crisis is caused by:
– Systematic non-compliance with the DPS Statute;
– From the gross violation of the decisions of the last National Conference of DPS (February, 2024);
– From the brutal attitude towards the members of the central governing bodies, towards the deputies of the DPS, towards the regional and municipal structures of the party.
Never, since its inception more than 34 years ago, has the Movement used seditious approaches to threaten our families, to take away people’s business from the prosecution and police services. A fear psychosis is deliberately created for people’s lives, work and property. And to my great surprise, it is claimed that everything that is being done was with my consent!? Absurd!
In such a situation, there is no basis for an understanding with anyone. Folk art has a formula for such cases in life: “It’s too late for a wrist.”
Bulgaria’s civilizational choice is liberal democracy with a Euro-Atlantic focus. DPS has a significant share in achieving this strategic goal of the state.
In addition, DPS is an important geopolitical factor in the Balkans. Therefore, any serious shake-up in the ranks of the Movement has a wide public response and an international reaction of political anxiety for the stability and security of South-Eastern Europe.
Thank you for everyone’s support: from veterans and deputies to party structures, municipal mayors and youth organizations. I especially thank the leaders of European liberals and our like-minded people and voters from the Republic of Turkey for their support. This circumstance convinces me for the umpteenth time that I have not wasted nearly 40 years of my life…
In fact, in the DPS, there is an attempt at an internal party coup in order to use party power for personal and group interests, and above all to
changed the political profile of the party. This process of illegitimate replacement of DPS must definitely be stopped.
No one can steal or misappropriate DPS. Our organization is not a sole proprietorship. And therefore it cannot possibly be owned by anyone.
DPS is a political achievement of all of us!
Overcoming this threat requires radical political measures. I call for the resignations of the assumed positions of:
1. Delyan Peevski – chairman of the DPS
2. Halil Letifov – Deputy Chairman of the DPS and member of the Central Committee
3. Stanislav Anastasov – Deputy Chairman of the DPS and member of the Central Committee
4. Hamid Hamid – deputy chairman of the PG of the DPS and a member of the Central Committee
5. Erten Anisova – Deputy Chairman of the PG of the DPS
6. Radoslav Revanski – member of the Central Committee
Let the collective bodies decide whether to remain members of the DPS or not. There is no other way to eliminate any arrogant attitude in our structures.
My great request to you is to free yourself from fear. We live in a free democratic world. Protect it!
always yours
Ahmed Dogan
