We fully support the decision of the ALDE Party to recommend the expulsion of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) to its council, in light of the actions of Delyan Peevski and his faction.
His influence has continuously undermined the liberal values that we stand for and has contributed to the erosion of democratic principles in Bulgaria. Peevski's involvement in corruption and the alleged manipulation of political processes has been a persistent threat to the rule of law and democratic integrity.
As a youth organization committed to upholding liberal values, we have been in close collaboration with our members and the liberal youth in Bulgaria from the beginning. They stood firm against the disruptive influences of Peevski and his faction, and we are proud to stand beside them. Their unwavering resistance has proven that they are the backbone of liberalism in Bulgaria, embodying the spirit of reform and democratic integrity.
The split within the MRF further illustrates the growing rejection of Peevski’s toxic political agenda. We are committed to working hand-in-hand with liberal forces in Bulgaria and across Europe to ensure that the promotion of transparency, democracy, and the rule of law continues unabated.
Liberalism in Bulgaria has a bright future, thanks to the strength and dedication of its youth, and we will continue to support their efforts in reclaiming democratic values and fighting corruption.
