Protests in Sofia and Varna following the Court of Appeal’s Refusal to Release Blagomir Kotsev from Custody.
Protesters are gathering this evening in front of the Palace of Justice in Sofia. The event is organised by “We Continue the Change” — the party that nominated Blagomir Kotsev for Mayor of Varna — and is held under the slogan “No Handcuffs for All”.
Yesterday, after an almost 10-hour hearing, the Court of Appeal upheld the detention of the Mayor of Varna and two municipal councillors. They are accused of participating in an organised criminal group involved in corruption and money laundering.
