Corruption and scandals
- Questions about the SUV and the Lozenets flat. The site 7minuti.com claims that after Петров's election to a third term the media noticed his Lexus RX SUV, worth about 115–200 thousand leva, and his home in Lozenets. According to the site, in July 2023 he explained on Instagram that the car has been leased since October 2019, two years before he became an MP, and that the flat was inherited from his grandparents and built in 1983 on their land. — 7minuti.com, 08.03.2026
- Claim of a reprimand over a gesture in parliament. According to 7minuti.com, Петров showed the middle finger in the plenary hall at least twice: at Костадин Костадинов of Възраждане (2022) and in a selfie in front of the GERB group. The site adds: „Получава порицание, но по-късно коментира, че не би го повторил.“ (our translation: He receives a reprimand but later comments that he would not repeat it.) — 7minuti.com, 08.03.2026
Other
- Claim of a dispute with PP colleague Лорер over Пеевски. As 7minuti.com tells it, Петров quarrelled with his PP colleague Даниел Лорер because the latter praised Пеевски. The exchange ran through Facebook and Instagram posts; after being called on to apologise, Лорер did so in a post titled Какво искаше да каже авторът (What the author meant to say). — 7minuti.com, 08.03.2026
