More strong language from MRF

Just when all political parties had reacted to the claims from Ahmed Dogan, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, that all power was concentrated in him, quotes from another MRF candidate fill headlines of local media.

At two election meetings, in the villages of Dyankov and Yasenovets, Dogan kept his speeches short, letting Daut Osman, currently MP for the MRF and fifth on the party's election list, do most of the talking, Bulgarian daily Dnevnik said.

Osman was quoted by local media as saying; "What our party has done for its voters in eight years, others have not done in 1300 years. So anyone who does not like the MRF can blow it."

In Dyankov, Osman allegedly claimed that the tripartite coalition was put together by Dogan in record time.
In 2005, when other politicians did not know what to do, Dogan had put together the coalition in 17 minutes, Osman was quoted in Bulgarian media as saying.

According to Osman, when other political parties would declare that they had anything against Bulgarian Turks, traditionally the largest supporters of the MRF, these parties did not lie. "They are not against us, when we are at the bottom of the ladder," Osman was quoted as saying, "but are against us when our educated, capable and knowledgeable young people are working in public institutions."

"To blow it"?... Most of Bulgarian Turks have the same life as the Bulgarians..., roma have it even worst. "it's voters"... give me a break. Have you seen young Bulgarian Turks working on the sea side resorts construction and sleeping in cardboard boxes... and vote for MRF. Keep the great job Dogan sultan and all the little pashas's you surrounded yourself with.

All Bulgarians, if you love your country, go to vote in order to show your commitment to democracy and reduce the political weight of this highly corrupt and anti-constitutional party MRF. The MRF has proven to be anti-Bulgarian and dangerous to long-term peace and unity of all people within Bulgaria. They are sparking negative resentments and alienation among our people. In addition, the Bulgarian consitution prohibits political parties based on ethnic grounds, and therefore this party should be prohibited. This call also goes to our friends of Turkish origin because a party that is bad for Bulgaria as a whole [...]

Read the full comment is bad for all of us, regardless ethnicity and religion. Together we could make it happen.
