Volen Siderov, the leader of Bulgaria's nationalist Ataka (Attack) party, did not report to the Sofia police department, where he was summoned for interrogation after he stormed two newspaper offices with his supporters.

Siderov and fellow Ataka MPs Pavel Shopov and Georgi Georgiev were all subpoenaed through the head of the parliament's press center, Darik News reported. Prosecutors are now allowed by law to ask police to bring in the three.

Siderov stormed the editor's office of the 168 Hours and 24 Hours newspapers on Friday together with 50 other party members and supporters. The "attack" continued throughout the weekend, with threatening text messages sent to the editors' cell phones.

Volen Siderov and his party members rushed into the editorials because he wanted to deal in person with the journalist, who wrote an article, in which the papers claim Ataka's arch enemy, ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms has paid him BGN 1.6 M.

Insulting and threatening the journalists, the nationalists demanded documents, proving the information, and wanted the name of the person who wrote the article. 'We will take out your liver, we know where you live', Ataka's coordinator for Sofia Kostadin Kostov yelled at 168 Hours' Editor-in-Chief Nikolay Penchev.
