On November 26 and December 1, Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria organized large-scale protests against the 2026 draft state budget that led to calls for the resignation of the Rosen Zhelyazkov Cabinet. On both dates, many protesters held up signs mocking MRF – New Beginning Floor Leader Delyan Peevski, who was described by the organizers as the person taking the decisions in this Government even though his parliamentary group is not officially part of the governing coalition. In 2021, he was designated by the United States under the Global Magnitsky Act for corruption and influence peddling. He is challenging the designation in a US court, with his lawyers arguing that there is no evidence of wrongdoing. In 2023, the United Kingdom also sanctioned Peevski for his alleged involvement “in attempts to exert control over key institutions and sectors in Bulgarian society through bribery and the use of his media empire.”
On November 27, Peevski commented on the first protest, saying that “No one will take power through the streets,” describing as abnormal for MPs “to be chased from office to office, harassed and told ‘go downstairs’” to meet the protesters. “Do they want me to block Parliament every day and call them downstairs?” the MRF – New Beginning Floor Leader added, arguing that he has no fewer supporters.
After the second protest, he said that “only my supporters can ask for my resignation, and they will continue to give me more and more trust – we all see it,” adding that “everyone has the right to support their parties, but I advise them not to sow hatred – ethnic or against MRF.” Peevski argued that “my brothers – Turks, Pomaks, and Roma,” were showed on screens at the protests, adding that he would not allow such things. “If they sow hatred, they will reap hatred. I warn them not to divide people,” he said. Asked where he saw an insult, Peevski replied, “Watch – they showed it.” MRF – New Beginning to Hold Rallies under “No to Hatred!” Motto on Tuesday 2025 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2025-12-08 09:28:00 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
