MRF-New Beginning leader Delyan Peevski was adamant that Interior Minister Daniel Mitov must not resign.

Asked if Mitov should resign over tensions sparked by the death of a 36-year-old man who was taken into police custody, Peevski told reporters: "I stand behind this very democratically minded minister. The competent authorities should say what happened. We should not be hasty with criticism, nor should we undermine the state institutions."

Peevski further said it is not fair to generalize about all police officers based on a single case.
