In an appeal to the DPS members, the honorary chairman of the DPS, Ahmed Dogan, demanded the resignation of the chairman of the parliamentary group, Delyan Peevski, and that of five other prominent names in the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. The reasons are: Systematic non-compliance with the DPS Statute; the gross violation of the decisions of the last National Conference of DPS; The brutal attitude towards the members of the central governing bodies, towards the MPs of the DPS, towards the regional and municipal structures. "A fear is deliberately created for people's lives, work and property. No one can steal or misappropriate DPS," Dogan said.

“The given assessments are untenable and the demand for resignations violates the DPS Statute, Peevski replied. "Ahmed Dogan and I know each other too well and we both know what the truth is. No one can stop the new beginning," Peevski also wrote.
