The MP from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms Delyan Peevski who was elected a Member of the new European Parliament at the latest European elections will stay at the Bulgarian National Assembly, the Chairman of DPS Mustafa Karadayi announced. Mustafa Karadayi himself will also file a request for refusal to the Central Election Commission and remain an MP at the Bulgarian Parliament. “The collective decision that I am more needed in Bulgaria prevailed”, Delyan Peevski told journalists after his appearance at the Bulgarian National Assembly for the first time this year. Delyan Peevski refused to become an MEP for the second time. In 2014 he was also elected a member of the European Parliament. In June 2013 the election of Peevski as Chairman of the State Agency for National Security triggered large-scale protests in Bulgaria.
