PP: Delyan Peevski is a weight around Boyko Borissov's neck

Bulgaria cannot have a normal government from now on if GERB leader Boyko Borissov's dependence on Delyan Peevski is not broken. 

This is what Kiril Petkov, co-leader of the We Continue the Change party (PP), told journalists. In his words, the co-leader of the MRF, a politician sanctioned by Washington for corruption under the Global Magnitsky Act, is like a weight around Boyko Borissov's neck, suffocating him. 
Petkov also told GERB voters that if they wanted the party to have a normal government and to be part of European governance, this dependence would have to end. 
The support of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) for the constitutional changes was a good thing, but the problem is that Peevski and Borissov are not ready to give up their grip on 'permanent power'," Petkov said.
