In his speech, the Turkish president warned the movement that his first friend in Bulgaria was Boyko Borissov. But he also gave his full support to the party to make it acceptable to the coalition again.
The MRF has a very interesting future ahead of it.
This message was addressed to his followers by the honorary president, and by the party statute and full teacher of the MRF Ahmed Dogan.
He did so personally, in a deliberate speech, on the sidelines of the speech prepared in advance for the MRF 10th National Conference, which was commissioned to read by Ilhan Kyuchyuk MEP.
And before Dogan, the parameters of this interesting future were outlined by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
For the first time in the history of the MRF, an Ankara president or prime minister joins a party event. And Erdogan, whom only 7 years ago Ahmed Dogan called a dictator on par with Boyko Borissov in his speech again at a party conference. At this memorable forum at the National Palace of Culture, Dogan was attacked with a gas pistol by Oktay Enimehmedov.
The same Erdogan who in 2013 in Sofia chose to meet with Kassim Dahl, MRF separatist. And two years later, he backed the ousted president, Lyutvi Mestan. The Mestan “massacre” followed after a speech by the honorary president, which was read as pro-Russian and directed against Turkey.
In 2016, the Turkish media announced that the honorary chairman of the MRF had been banned from entering the country. And Dogan replied that Erdogan was ruining the Kemalist republic to make it a sultanate with a capital “C”.
The only other time in 30 years that the MRF received such open support was in 2001. Then, in Plovdiv, Dogan met with Turkish President Ahmed Necdet Sezer and announced that the MRF wanted to formally join the executive branch.

As in 2001, the current MRF candidate, elected for a second term (until 2023), Mustafa Karadayi announced open entry to the executive branch as a target for next year’s parliamentary elections.
The two moments, 20 years apart, have a lot in common. In 2001, then-Prime Minister Ivan Kostov cornered the MRF and declared the movement a curse. In 2020, the MRF is once again in opposition, although it supports the main ruling party, GERB, in key decisions: fiscal policy, entry into the eurozone, etc. While there are nationalists and national populists in power, however, the movement certainly cannot feel comfortable on the political scene. In 2001, the high spending of the EU pre-accession funds was established.

It has allocated € 12 billion for Bulgaria alone under the Green Deal. An amount that explains the MRF’s addiction to the hydrogen economy, especially since politics and business have always gone hand in hand with the movement, and its ties to energy and transportation have never been a secret. However, the honorary president is personally the owner of the TPP Varna, and can certainly suffer and benefit greatly from changes in European energy due to the Green Deal.
In this situation, the MRF desperately needs to get officially back in power and have its people in key ministerial positions to determine the transition to the new economy and distribute the money properly.
However, to be successful in entering the executive branch, the MRF
are necessary at least
400 thousand votes
They cannot be collected if the movement does not receive the full support of the emigrants in Turkey, but also of the Muslims in Bulgaria. This is what makes Erdogan’s support especially valuable. It is no coincidence that much of Karaday’s speech was devoted to the party split that led to Mestan’s impeachment. The results of the last types of MRF elections were not so convincing. Yes, neither DOST nor the party founded by Kassim Dahl managed to enter the National Assembly. However, the support I received from Ankara was enough to significantly disperse the voices of the movement so that it was no longer inevitable as a parliamentary force.
Erdogan’s participation in a conference last Saturday with a carefully prepared video address could certainly help consolidate expatriates around the mother party, although efforts to part ways with the votes have not stopped: just two days after the forum party, former MRF Agriculture Minister Mehmed Dikme announced a new organization. , which is an alternative for Muslims in Bulgaria.
“I believe that the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, which has occupied an important place in Bulgarian democracy, God willing, will continue on its way with a more complete and inclusive understanding in the new period,” said Erdogan, pointing to who he prefers. Ankara currently. .

On Saturday, this was front-page news for the state Anatolian news agency, which said Bulgaria was a “former Ottoman territory with a large Turkish minority” and that the MRF party, “whose members are mostly Bulgarian Turks,” it has 26 seats in the Bulgarian parliament.
The second major problem facing the official involvement of the MRF in government is that the movement has become an unacceptable and indecent coalition partner due to its attachment to business. At the moment, neither GERB nor its traditional coalition partner BSP over the years would announce a public partnership with the people of Dogan. On the contrary, they deny any possibility of joint management. AND
fleeing the MRF
like the plague
The unspoken expectation is that this will stop when the movement ends its catharsis through the battle between its political and corporate wing.
And an emanation of how indecent it is to maintain even formal relations with the MRF was the absence on Saturday of congratulations to the 10th Jubilee Congress from any other Bulgarian party. At least roughly, this behavior is significant for the MRF. And it means that at this moment for all parties in Bulgaria the movement is a skeleton in the locker room.
Erdogan’s kind words to “my friend” Boyko Borissov, spoken in the forum, to some extent give reason to turn away from the closet with the shameful secret. Days after the Bulgarian Prime Minister again engaged in Brussels to mediate between Athens, Ankara and the EU to defuse tensions in the Mediterranean between our two southern neighbors, any apparent future cooperation between GERB and the MRF in power will also received geopolitical bases.
