Citizens gathered for a protest and a counter-protest outside Sofia Municipality on Wednesday triggered by the Ukrainian flag hoisted on the building.
The protest, organized on Facebook, called for Sofia Mayor Vassil Terziev's resignation. The demonstration was held under the slogan “Take Down the Foreign Flag! Terziev Resign!”. The protesters carried placards reading “This Is Not Petrohan” due to Terziev’s links to the group involved in the Petrohan case and chanted “Resign!”.
The counter-protest was held in support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, as well as of keeping the Ukrainian flag on the Sofia Municipality building.
Vehicle traffic in front of the municipal building was stopped. Police officers were positioned between the groups of protesters and monitored public order.
