TheNational Socialist Bulgarian Workers Party (Bulgarian:Националсоциалистическа българска работническа партия) was aNazi party based in theKingdom of Bulgaria.
It was one of a number ofanti-Semitic groups to emerge in Bulgaria after the rise ofAdolf Hitler inGermany, with other notable groups including theUnion of Bulgarian National Legions andRatniks.[1] The party was established byDoctor Hristo Kunchev in 1932, who had studied medicine inBerlin.[2] The party sought to copy theNazi Party by adopting theNational Socialist Program, theswastika and other symbols of the German party.[2] Unlike some of its competitors on thefar right like theUnion of Bulgarian National Legions and theRatniks, it was not a very influential group and had a relatively small membership with only a hundred people active in its core.[3] The party published a newspaper calledAtaka [bg] ('Attack', a name similar toDer Angriff ofJoseph Goebbels) in which it criticized the BulgarianFreemasonry which, according to the party, had a significant role inBulgarian politics. In this regardAleksandar Tsankov, a leader of the rivallingNational Social Movement, was attacked.[4] In the September 1932 municipal elections, of 68,000 voters, 47,823 voted, and Bulgarian National Socialists obtained only 147 votes (0.31%) and ranked 18th among the participants. Through 1933, it was divided and disappeared after all political parties were banned after thecoup of 9 May 1934.[5]
