One of the goals of the two overnight blasts in Sofia could be to make the victims appear like heroes, according to the leader of the Bulgarian far-right, nationalist Ataka party, Volen Siderov.

Siderov made the statement Tuesday from the Black Sea capital Varna, speaking for Darik radio, condemning the overnight explosions in front of the offices of two Bulgarian opposition parties, rocking Sofia and damaging neighboring buildings.

The first blast went off at 3:58 a.m. in front of the headquarters of the conservative Order, Law and Justice Party, RZS, in downtown Sofia. About twenty minutes later another explosion ripped off the air in front of an office of the party of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov, the die-hard right-wing Democrats for Strong Bulgaria.

"If one is searching for political motives for these emblematic attacks, we might say that it could be an excuse before the voters like those, who support the right wing and do not want their Democrats for Strong Bulgaria , DSB, party to stand together with the Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, and the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS, in the upcoming no-confidence vote against the cabinet," Siderov said, adding he did not expect attacks on other parties because it would be a farce.

The nationalist leader believes the Tuesday blasts would not influence the no-confidence vote, but would stir further the debate about security in downtown Sofia since the vote is submitted precisely on the grounds of cabinet's failure in the security sector. He asked authorities to look into the latest as a possible motive.
