Notorious Bulgarian brothers Yuzeir and Ali Yuzeirovi have started to look for adherents in the Plovdiv Roma Quarter Stolipinovo in order to register their party “Muslim-Democratic Union.”
The two brothers became famous over the recent couple of months with the construction of an illegal monument of the unknown Turkish/Muslim soldier in their backyard in the village of Slavyanovo, Targovishte District, which was torn down by the authorities.
According to Ashim Asan, a Stolipinovo activist of the ruling GERB party, and leader of the “Right Way” Foundation, the brothers have been unable to collect 5 000 signatures needed for the registration of their “Muslim Democratic Union” party in their region, Northeastern Bulgaria.
Thus, the two have started to seek support in the largest Roma quarter in Bulgaria, Stolipinovo, Asan said the two brothers have started to “buy” the votes and the personal data of the Roma residents there in order to use them for the registration of their party.
