MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk, who sided with the honorary chairman of MRF Ahmed Dogan, questioned the party membership of Delyan Peevski, the leader of the other wing.

"We all knew that Mr. Peevski over the years was the civilian quota of the MRF. Until now, I have not seen his membership relations - somewhere he has declared that he is a member of a local organization", the MEP told BNR. According to him, many falsifications have happened recently in the MRF and this is one of them.

On the occasion of the CEC's requirement that the two wings of the party, which declared their desire to appear in the upcoming elections in coalitions, to submit documents proving that the MRF is not part of their composition, Ilhan Kyuchyuk commented: "All procedural actions that must are carried out will be carried out. It is absurd that an administrative body does not register a political force that is backed by 400,000 Bulgarian voters."
The "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms - MRF" coalition is expected to file a complaint with the Supreme Administrative Court today, in which it will object to the instructions of the electoral commission. However, Ilhan Kyuchyuk expressed concerns that the court may have been influenced. 

"I don't want to believe that the Supreme Court can be captivated to such an extent, but, unfortunately, I have a bad feeling listening to Peevski's avatars," the MEP pointed out. He also said that Ahmed Dogan will have a significant role in the upcoming election campaign.
