Nikolay Denkov: A "Peevski-wrapped GERB" leaves PP-DB in opposition

Asked whether We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) would support a Speaker of the National Assembly proposed by GERB, Nikolay Denkov recalled the coalition's declaration of a "sanitary cordon" around DPS-New Beginning leader Delyan Peevski. "It is important that Peevski should not be in the decision-making teams in this National Assembly, that he should not be in any way connected with decisions about the government, as well as the adoption of anti-corruption laws aimed at eliminating intimidation tactics," the politician stressed.

A week ago, the PP-DB sent to the parliamentary groups a declaration on "freeing institutions and the electoral process from the influence of corruption", BTA recounts. The declaration has three points: the establishment of a cordon sanitaire around Peevski and his group; a programme for the work of Parliament with measures to stop the collapse of Bulgaria's institutions, limit illegitimate influence on them and guarantee their independence; the establishment of an ad hoc committee to investigate the facts and circumstances.
