Questions about article
[edit]Since this is a new article, apparently written by someone whose native language is not English (I'm guessing Bulgarian here), some questions arise:
- Votes for Siderov's coalition: did they get 296,848 votes? In any case, the percentage figure is more meaningful, so I'd suggest dropping the count altogether.
- Who or what are the "sociological agencies" mentioned? Are they government or academic agencies? This should be sourced.
- Bulgarian sociological agencies aren't government-owned. I didn't write the sentence, and I don't feel like looking for sources right now. The fact itself isn't disputed by anybody, AFAIK. If anybody wants to remove it until sources are provided, I guess it will have to go. --194.145.161.227 23:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- The article says "Earlier in 2006, Siderov organized a subscription list against the decision of the Bulgarian government to set up US military bases in Bulgaria." What is meant by a "subscription list"—an email list? a mailing list? a petition?
- A petition, I think. Changed the wording accordingly.--194.145.161.227 23:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- The article says "In 1992, he was surprisingly fired from the newspaper"; surprising to who? according to who?
- To the general public, I guess. Can't source the surprise :), so feel free to remove it. --194.145.161.227 23:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks in advance for clearing these things up. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 07:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Scandals
[edit]After a road accident on the Trakia motorway on 7 April 2006 Volen Siderov and the chief member of the populist party Ataka (Attack) got involved in a fight with several gun shots. The leader of the party made the driver of his car break the other car´s windows and beat the people in there (a student and his gradfather, who was to be taken to the hospital). After the victims managed to run away Siderov took off his personal gun and shot against the back of their car.
Several hours later Siderov called the Minister of Inner Affair Petkanov claiming that the accident on the Motor Way has been "an attempt on his life". Siderov also stated that Pavel Chernev, a member of his party, has been the one to drive the car and attack the victims. Chernev first confessed and also claimed that tha acident has been an attempt on Siderov´s life trying to safe the reputaton of his leader and later, after he got to know what really happened, he stated another two different versions of waht happened.
He blamed Siderov of betrayel and told that the populist had made him sacrifice himself for the party, because the one really involved in the fight has been Siderov's own driver, who is a criminal and also knows many secrets about the party.
Several week later Siderov and Chernev were stripped of immunity and are expected to be teken before the court as soon as the presidential elections in Bulgaria 2006 are over. After this scandal Siderov´s and his party´s reputation seased to 4%. Pavel Chernev got excluded from the party.
The leader of the ultra-nationalist party is also known for his aggressive behaviour and his xenophibia against turkish and roma minnorities. A member of his party got involved in many controversies in the European Parliament by sending rassistic messeges against the roma minorities and their representativ in the Euro Parliament Livia Yaroka to his European colleagues. Siderov was the only one to support him. Another member of the group turned out to be a child molester. Almost the half ot the members of Siderov´s party left the group or got excluded.

Siderov win 0.05% of the vote in Sofia mayor elections in 2003 year! But at least a half of Sofia citizens did not vote for anyone!!
Second Most Important Party
[edit]The article refers to Attack as the second most important political party. I think that this is demonstrably untrue. Any problems if I remove this? Ph8l (talk) 08:17, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
