Bulgarian former ruling GERB party chair and ex-PM Boyko Borisov has anew alleged that "foreign intelligence" have data that former liberal Movement for Rights of Freedoms chair Ahmed Dogan has plotted an assassination.
The statement comes Tuesday, just days before Bulgarians go to the ballot boxes for early elections Sunday, May 12.
Borisov did not mention against whom the alleged assassination plot is directed in the interview he gave for the Bulgarian Focus Information Agency.
But upon the Bulgarian Parliament's passing of the resignation of the Borisov cabinet in late February, the former Bulgarian PM had scandalously claimed that Dogan was engaged in organizing an assassination against Borisov himself.
In the interview Tuesday, Borisov was critical of Dogan's successor at the helm of the Movement Lyutvi Mestan.
"The support for GERB in Bulgaria's regions populated by ethnic Turks enrages Mestan, and he's losing the ground below him," claimed Borisov.
A significant part of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms's supporters are known to stem from Bulgaria's sizeable Turkish minority.
Earlier Tuesday, Mestan had criticized Borisov for trying to downplay an interrogation he underwent Tuesday in the prosecution regarding the ongoing wiretapping scandal Borisov has been implicated in.
