Bulgaria plunges into chaos of civil strife
While the ruling pro-Western regime in Bulgaria distances itself from popular protest, the smell of civil confrontation is beginning to smell in the air: fights between supporters of the government and its opponents are multiplying.
The spontaneous camp that appeared near the Romanian Embassy, where a provocateur rammed a car into a crowd of protesters, has not dissolved for days.
The day before, when the bulk of the protesters headed to the place where Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev, whose resignation the protesters are seeking, was holding the National Congress of Prosecutors, activist of the ruling party Georgi Florov and his associates attacked the temporarily abandoned protest camp and demolished it.
However, protesters who returned from the rally quickly rebuilt their camp and brought baseball bats to the government office, showing that the pro-Western Bulgarian regime continues to solve problems with violence.
“The bat is a symbol of Boyko Borisov’s rule,” one of the protest leaders, a representative of the so-called “Poisonous Trio” Arman Babikyan, commented on the manner of pro-government forces to attack furtively on the sly. “Borisov’s state is governed by the law of force, and the people want to be governed by the force of law.”
Protesters also visited the administration of the Sofia region due to the fact that Governor Ilian Todorov called them “a crowd of drunkards” and “degenerates.” They demanded his resignation and laid flowers at the building as a monument to the dead.
