Parliament members who left the parliamentary group of ultra-nationalist party Ataka would form a new party, MP Georgi Georgiev told Focus News Agency.

Georgiev left Ataka only a week ago, Focus News Agency reminded. He explained he was personally involved in forming the new party, which in his words would become reality before Christmas 2007. Georgiev, however, did not name the MPs who would form the new party.

Georgiev said the idea of restructuring Ataka's parliamentary group and the possible return of former members could be realised only without the participation of Volen Siderov and the members of Ataka's party management.

Asked if Ataka's leader should leave Parliament, Georgiev said Siderov should withdraw if he had some political dignity.
