“What happened today (February 22) in front of the European Commission building in Sofia is not a protest, but shameful, hooligan acts, vandalism and embarrassment. Thankfully, Bulgaria is a member of the EU,” There Is Such a People (TISP) leader Slavi Trifonov wrote in a post on Facebook.
“Acts like this embarrass us in front of everyone: ourselves, and unfortunately the whole of Europe. There can be no other treatment of the perpetrators of such acts than the full severity of the law,” Trifonov said.
