The co-chairman of PP-DB Kiril Petkov defined entering into a joint government with GERB-SDS as a "big mistake". "We did not realize how dependent Borisov was on Peevski," he told BNR.

The goal for the PP-DB is to shed light on GERB leader’s dependence on the DPS co-chairman and the fact that Boyko Borisov cannot make decisions on his own, Kiril Petkov also said. According to him, the coalition he represents will sit at the negotiating table after the elections only if this dependence was broken.

Kiril Petkov denied that he patronized a smuggling channel in the customs, as well as accusations that together with Lena Borislavova (head of his political cabinet 2021-2022) as members of an NGO, falsified documents regarding sea beaches. "Apparently they cannot follow the real ideas of what Bulgaria should look like and they want to push us into the mud. The good thing is that the beaches of Karol, Karadere and Irakli have been preserved together with a 500 m strip behind them", he commented.
