A political dispute has erupted in Bulgaria over state-provided security, with the "Democratic Bulgaria" coalition demanding access to classified information about the protection details of prominent figures.

The coalition has introduced a parliamentary proposal aimed at obliging the chief of the National Security Service (NSO) to disclose documents and information, including classified materials, related to state protection previously granted. The focus of their inquiry appears to be the security arrangements for Delyan Peevski, a key political figure.

In response, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) has also called for transparency, requesting similar information regarding all individuals who have received protection from the NSO since 2013. This move suggests a broader political interest in the NSO's operations and the criteria for assigning state security.
