Former Bulgarian EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva has said that news of hundreds of supporters leaving her Bulgaria for Citizens party won't harm it ahead of May 12 early elections.

"I am pleased that problems within Bulgaria for Citizens are emerging before the vote," said Kuneva, suggesting that this will boost the transparency of her party.

Sunday it was reported that many Bulgaria for Citizens supporters from Plovdiv have requested to leave on the grounds of an alleged mishandling of the party's election lists.

According to the dissenters, the arrangement of the lists has flouted promises for a balanced regional representation, favoring persons close to the party's leadership.

At the same time, Plovdiv party coordinator Dimitar Shishkov commented that the numbers of people leaving have been inflated, and that no significant splitting has occured.
