Ataka party is no longer part of the nationalist United Patriots, the junior partner to the ruling coalition in Bulgaria, the leaders of the other two United Patriots parties Valery Simeonov of the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria (NFSB), and Krasimir Karakachanov of VMRO announced.
Three of the seven Ataka MPs were expelled from the parliamentary group of the United Patriots – Ataka leader Volen Siderov, his deputy Desislav Chukolov and Pavel Shopov. The remaining four Ataka MPs can, if they wish to, continue as members of parliament from the United Patriots group. According to Krasimir Karakachanov, the fact that Ataka has been expelled does not mean passing censure on the majority and the government. VMRO and NFSB will not be pressing for a renewal of the joint governance agreement with the ruling GERB party.
