Balgarianovinite.com Political tensions in the United States are entering a dangerous phase after a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, MRF Chair and MRF–New Beginning Floor Leader Delyan Peevski said on Sunday.
“I condemn in the strongest possible terms this ugly act of political violence against US President Donald Trump,” Peevski said. “Because when trust in the State authority of a leading world power is attacked, the consequences are not only domestic, they are global,” he added.
“Violence has no place in our democracies,” Peevski said and added that any action that calls into question the security of the head of State and the stability of the institutions is unacceptable.
“Democracy is not defended through chaos, but through order, rules and responsibility,” he said.
US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated by US Secret Service agents from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night after loud gunshots were heard in the hall, Reuters said. About an hour after Trump was rushed out of the event, the head of State wrote on Truth Social that “the shooter has been detained”.
Peevski was designated by the United States under the Global Magnitsky Act in 2021 for corruption and influence peddling. The US authorities described him as an oligarch who had “regularly engaged in corruption”, including through influence peddling and bribes to shield himself from public scrutiny and exert control over key institutions and sectors in Bulgaria. Peevski is challenging the designation in a US court, with his lawyers arguing that there is no evidence of wrongdoing by their client. In 2023, the United Kingdom also sanctioned Peevski over alleged attempts to exert control over key institutions and sectors through bribery and the use of his media empire.
