Bulgaria's Rulers Mock Unity of Far-Right, Left-Wingers

The news that left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and far-right Ataka will both support a no-confidence motion has triggered ironic remarks on behalf of ruling centrist-right GERB.

GERB MPs have "wished well to the new coalition" between BSP leader Sergey Stanishev and Ataka's Volen Siderov, dnevnik.bg informs.

"We want to congratulate the leaders of the two parties for their future successful cooperation," GERB lawmaker Alexander Nenkov has commented.
