More than 60 officials were at the protest in front of the National Theatre and responded adequately, caretaker Interior Minister Atanas Ilkov said on Bulgarian National Television's morning show on Friday. Tension escalated outside the National Theatre in central Sofia on Thursday as protestors tried to stop the premiere of the George Bernard Shaw play Arms and the Man, which they believe to humiliate Bulgaria.
