DPS-DPS around Ahmed Dogan wants to have its own deputy ministers, regional and deputy regional governors, as well as representatives in the regulators, in order to take political responsibility. This was stated to BNT by the party's MP Ramadan Atalay. He pointed out that DPS-DPS can offer qualified personnel in the ministries of agriculture and social policy - areas of interest to the party's electorate.


"We have not made any claims for the Council of Ministers, because we are not in the coalition," Atalay pointed out. He rejected the accusations, mainly coming from the leader of "DPS - New Beginning" Delyan Peevski, that Ahmed Dogan's DPS is trying to overeat with power and reminded that according to the governance agreement "the parliamentary majority in the appointment of deputy ministers, regional governors or the second or third echelon, will govern jointly".

According to the coalition agreement, the country is governed by GERB-SDS, "BSP - United Left" and "There is Such a People" (ITN) with the support of "DPS - DPS" around Ahmed Dogan.
