The Bulgaria nationalist party "Ataka" formally threw its weight behind the future government of Boyko Borisov's party GERB.

In a special declaration Monday, Ataka declared its support for the GERB cabinet, and that it did not want to participate in the executive branch.

The declaration asks all political forces that would like to differentiate themselves from the outgoing government of the Socialists and the ethnic Turkish party DPS to "behave "responsibly and to respect the choice of the Bulgarian voters".

"Ataka" (which means "Attack" in Bulgarian) states it supported GERB's intentions to revise the policies of the previous governments, to implement anti-crisis measures, and to stabilize Bulgaria's economy and finances.

After the second round of negotiations last Friday, Ataka remained the only political force that has declared its unconditional support for the future government of GERB. The center-right Blue Coalition has declined to sign GERB Memorandum for support of the new cabinet, and the conservative RZS party also declined claiming that its partners from the European conservative parties objected to having its leader Yanev sign the same document together with the nationalist leader of Ataka, Volen Siderov.

GERB has 116 MPs in the 240-seat Bulgarian Parliament, Ataka has 21, the Blue Coalition - 15, and RZS - 10.

The leader of the nationalist "Ataka" party, Volen Siderov, has declared that nationalism was no longer a taboo in Bulgaria after Sunday's Parliamentary Elections.

In his post-election press conference, Siderov emphasized that a number of the other right-wing Bulgarian parties had copied a lot of his party's their nationalist slogans, which meant that that topic was becoming increasingly important.

The Ataka party leader made it clear that the new government would put on a test with its first policies. He demanded from GERB a new attitude towards fighting "islamization, robbing the country, and corruption".

Siderov stressed that a number of the privatization deals in the recent years had to be reviewed because they were detrimental to Bulgaria, and demanded that the new GERB government to be formed investigate all the firms connected to the parties of the outgoing governing three-way coalition of the BSP, the DPS, and the NMSP.

"We want to see GERB investigate the whole criminal clique of the DPS, which is connected to Turkey's secret services, the Turkish mafia, and to stop the advancing islamization", the nationalist leader declared. novinite.com
