On Attaka:
-Racist comments against Turks and Roma (who make up 10% and 5% of the population, respectively. Most Bulgarian, and some Romanian gypsies are Muslims btw.) He went as far as demanding Gypsies be put into forced labor camps, a statement he retracted immediately after.
The best showing of Attaka was in the parts where there is a sizable Turkish minority. That part of the program did it quite well then.
Don't forget that the communists tried to kick all the Turks out of the country (or at least "bulgarize" them) in the eighties. Most Bulgarians are not pro-Turkey, to say it mildly.
