    Default Bulgarian Top Nationalist Mulls Presidential Run



    The far-right, nationalist Ataka party has prepared a proposal to change the Elections Act in order to eliminate the participation of ghost parties and shady business groups.

    The information was reported Monday by party leader, Volen Siderov, who spoke in a TV interview.

    Siderov, who is the rotating Chair of the Parliamentary Committee for control over the National Agency for State Security (DANS), said they want to allow at local elections only parties, who ran at the country’s general elections and had won a certain % of the vote. The move aims at eliminating the existence of municipal councils, composed by local lobbyists.

    He ran in 2006, and he garnered second most votes just behind of Parvanov. If he runs again he can do it this time since Parvanov will not be up for reelection.

    I found an old article I never read before. Can the Bulgarians in Bulgaria confirm/deny this report?

    “The ruling majority can stop the Turkish-language news without a referendum. By declaring his support for the initiative yesterday, the Prime Minister actually opened Siderov’s election campaign for President in 2011,” Socialist Party MP Kiril Dobrev said Wednesday.
