The majority of the delegates of the party's first National Congregation, held on the day Bulgaria celebrates its liberation from Ottoman rule, voted for their all-time leader.

The priorities listed by him are: immediate cancellations of the contracts of the three power distributors, CEZ, EVN, and Energo-Pro; reopening of units 5 and 6 of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, NPP; ASAP construction of a second NPP; eliminating unemployment and petty crime; revoking Bulgaria's support for Turkey's EU Membership, and introducing the study of the true Bulgarian history in schools.
"Without these measures, we are going to become extinct as a country and a nation," Siderov declared.
Ataka also held a protest march in Sofia Sunday, which joined the rally against utility bills monopolies, poverty and the political model of ruling the country.
