“We are going to take part in talks with GERB, but if they intend to get Delyan Peevski in through the front door we’re out,” said MEP Ilhan Kyuchuk from the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms, chair of the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs.

“The litmus for a coalition is the attitude to the “Peevski” model because it undermines statehood,” he said. In c comment on the election result and the fact that the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms got 100,000 votes less than The Movement for Rights and Freedoms-New Beginning affiliated with Delyan Peevski, Kyuchuk stated a political analysis will be made, adding that vote-buying at this election had been on an unprecedented scale. “An analysis is yet to be made, we are seeing unprecedented voter turnout in Kardzhali and Jebel. Our election legislation experts and investigative journalists are yet to make their conclusions, though this does not justify our own failures, for example the messages,” Ilhan Kyuchuk said. As regards the vote-buying he commented, in an interview with Euronews Bulgaria, that the explanations given by the institutions are different from the other opinions.
