Ivelin Mihailov

Nikolay Markov, the parliamentary leader of "Greatness," has announced he is ceasing his participation in all public meetings organized by the party as of yesterday. On his official Facebook page, he urged his followers and sympathizers to spread the message that "Greatness" is solely represented by Mr. Ivelin Mihailov and his pseudo-economic group of straw and dependent people.

Allegations of threats, compromises, and power struggles within the "Greatness" party have surfaced following statements by party ideologue Ivelin Mihailov in a recent interview with Nova TV. Mihailov accused a faction within the party, led by chairman Nikolay Markov, of being compromised and attempting to manipulate party decisions for their own benefit.

A statement purportedly endorsing support for a GERB-led cabinet, attributed to Ivelin Mihailov on his social media profile, has been denied by the prominent figure and founder of the "Greatness" party.

Representatives of the Bulgarian right-wing "Greantess" (Velichie) party, including Nikolay Markov, Victoria Vasileva, Darin Georgiev, and Georgi Kukov, attended consultations with President Rumen Radev as part of the ongoing discussions preceding the assignment of the exploratory mandate for forming a new government.

The Bulgarian pro-Russian party "Revival" (Vazrazhdane) has declared its intention to oppose another Euro-Atlantic government, as announced by its deputy chairman Tsoncho Ganev.

"Greatness" (Velichie/Величие in Bulgarian) garnered 99,852 votes in the Bulgarian parliamentary elections on June 9, surprising many politicians, sociologists, and journalists. Known figures like "Colonel Markov" and Ivelin Mihailov played key roles.

The newly formed "Greatness" (Velichie) party emerged as the surprise success in Bulgaria's 2-in-1 vote, surpassing the 4 percent threshold to enter the National Assembly. Led by former National Security officer Nikolay Markov and founded by Ivelin Mihailov, the party's representatives discussed their election results and future parliamentary strategy on Nova TV.
