Several European liberal parties have sent a letter to the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) to demand that Delyan Peevski be monitored, pointing out that he has been sanctioned for corruption by the US under the Global Magnitsky Act, as well as by the UK.

ALDE’s secretary general Didrik de Schaetzen said, in an interview with the BNR, that he is not ruling out the possibility of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms being expelled from the alliance over the serious strife inside the party. The letter was signed by the affiliated parties from Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Netherlands. They lay emphasis on the need to avoid what happened with former Czech PM Andrej Babiš whose party left the liberal Renew Europe to join the far-right Patriots for Europe.
