site.btaContinue the Change Distances Itself from Vandalism, Violence During Protest

The Continue the Change (CC) political party distanced itself from the acts of vandalism and violence that occurred during Monday night’s protest in Sofia. The party published photos on Facebook showing thousands of peacefully demonstrating citizens, accompanied by the message: “This is what one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and youth-led protests in our recent history looked like. What happened at the end had different authors, and we categorically distance ourselves from all acts of vandalism and violence.”

Earlier on Monday night, CC co-chair Assen Vassilev and CC-DB MP Ivaylo Mirchev called on Interior Minister Daniel Mitov to resign, saying that he had allowed police officers to be assaulted during a peaceful protest and a peaceful march.
