The nationalist parties Volya and the National Fund for the Salvation of Bulgaria (NFSB) will run together in the April 4th parliamentary elections. This was announced by their leaders Veselin Mareshki and Valeri Simeonov in a statement in the corridors of the National Assembly. According to them, the unification between them is on a principled and patriotic basis.

Last week, it became clear that the nationalist VMRO party would run in the elections on its own, and the United Patriots coalition, which included the political parties VMRP, the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria (NFSB) and Ataka, ceases to exist.
