Movement for Rights and Freedoms – New Beginning (Bulgarian: Движение за права и свободи – Ново начало; ДПС-НН, romanized: Dvizhenie za prava i svobodi – Novo nachalo, DPS–NN), often known as DPS–Peevski, is a Bulgarian political electoral coalition. It is led by Delyan Peevski, a Bulgarian media mogul[5] and oligarch.[6][7][8][9]

The coalition was formed prior to the October 2024 Bulgarian parliamentary election and claims to represent the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), following a leadership dispute.[10] This claim is disputed by the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms, another coalition registered on the same day.[11] The coalition was set up in response to the (later overturned[12]) removal of DPS co-leader Delyan Peevski.[13]

History

[edit | edit source]

Party formation

[edit | edit source]
Further information: Alliance for Rights and Freedoms § History

DPS–Peevski registered electronically on the 2 September in order to try to be the first out of the two competing factions to register. This move was unprecedented, and the electoral commission decided to allow both electoral coalitions to run with the same abbreviation.[10][14]

Consolidation

[edit | edit source]

On 25 July 2025, the Sofia City Court ruled that Peevski was the sole chairman of DPS, and saw the official removal of Ahmed Dogan from the party. This made DPS – New Beginning the sole legal DPS.[15]

Party organisation and affiliation

[edit | edit source]

International affiliation

[edit | edit source]

In December 2024, the liberal ALDE party expelled DPS–NN from their ranks.[16] In April 2025, DPS–NN joined the European Conservatives, Patriots & Affiliates group on PACE, with their MEPs expected to join a similar group in the European Parliament.[17]

In May 2025, representatives of DPS–NN attended the CPAC Hungary 2025 event, hosted by the Hungarian organisation Center for Fundamental Rights.[18]

Local government

[edit | edit source]

Following the party's formation, the original DPS mayors split 50:50 between Peevski and Dogan's new parties.[19]

In April 2025, Peevski launched a campaign to attract elected mayors to join his party, particularly targeting municipalities which had formerly remained loyal to Dogan's party.[20] According to research by Deutsche Welle, by 1 May 2025, the party had 34 mayors.[21] By 17 June, all mayors in the Kardzhali Province were aligned with DPS–NN.[22][23]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

Despite the original DPS being listed as part of both electoral coalitions, the Commission decided on 4 September that both had to prove the original party was not part of either group,[24] something neither wing agreed to do by the 7 September deadline.[25][26] Because it was technically registered first online, the Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria accepted the application filed by DPS–Peevski and as such the official DPS was part of DPS–Peevski.[27][28] The composition of DPS–Peevski at the October 2024 election was as follows:

Party Leader Ideology
Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) (de jure) Delyan Peevski Liberalism
Turkish minority interests
Bulgarian Voice (BG)[b] Georgi Zacharinin Popov National conservatism
Euro-Atlanticism
New Leaders[c] Ivanka Miteva Direct democracy
Local politics of Plovdiv
