„Our only move towards today is the date to fight for DPS, because for us rights and freedoms are not just something. As of today, we will continue to fight for DPS. We will not register another party”.
This is what Ilhan Kyuchyuk from APS said in the program “On focus” on NOVA.
„I am from the DPS. I was elected MEP from the DPS list. I have been a member of this party for 20 years. APS was just a form of showing up in the last parliamentary elections,”, he said.
„These people they are excluding have been excluded before. I do not accept the exclusion of Ahmed Dogan and other members of the party. Those excluded had the opportunity to appeal to the control commission, but did not do so. I don't know why the decision of the SGS has been canceled several times so that the new circumstances can be entered. I hope this is not done deliberately, with the idea of Delyan Peevski registering his own party. However, I have a deep suspicion that it is being done on purpose. My suspicions are very well-founded”, Kyuchyuk clarified.
„The people I am talking to definitely follow the political behavior of Delyan Peevski. When Dogan was operational chairman, we talked about tolerance, about strategic goals, about vision. After that we had other chairmen and they identified with a different management philosophy. Today we have as president a person who says: crush, beat, impose, bully”, he pointed out.
„We will move forward. We will reform it. Peevski is excluded. Those who are excluded must be deleted in the SGS”, Kyuchuk stressed.
„We have not attempted to register another party. The only thing we did in the last elections was to appear as APS because we had no other choice. Birshen Ibryamova did not attempt to register, but to preserve the brand of APS”, he said.
„In this complex political context, there are clubs. We see how, during the election campaign, the whole country opened the ground for Delyan Peevski and his people, so that he could settle in helpfully and report good election results, said Kyuchyuk.
„I am very disappointed with the behavior of Prime Minister Glavchev. He was used, literally, as Delyan Peevski's rubber stamp. He proved extremely spineless in this political environment. His stamp seals whatever they want from him”, he pointed out.
„We are worried that they will take away our party headquarters, but our biggest concern is that they will take away our rights and freedoms,”, Kyuchuk stressed.
