Delyan Peevski is a Bulgarian oligarch under sanctions from both the American and British governments. A former media mogul, he has over the past decade become the country's biggest power broker. He has taken over the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (New Beginning), originally a party representing Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish minority. Unlike Boyko Borisov, the corpulent Mr Peevski lacks charisma. Dimitar Bechev, a political scientist at Oxford University, describes him as "like a bulldozer, crushing all accepted norms of behaviour."
