The fact that mostly Muslims support DRST and MRF does not mean they are not supported by good Christians as well


After the former party leader Lyutvi Mestan was expelled from "Movement for Rights and Freedoms" (MRF) in December 2015, he established a new formation - "Democrats for Responsibility, Solidarity and Tolerance" (DRST).

So far it seems DRST is gaining support among the members of the MRF, but will DRST turn into David who killed Goliath (MRF) or will this be another failed attempt to eliminate the influence of DPS on the electorate and the politics in Bulgaria?
