Members and supporters of the "Vazrazhdane" party organized a protest in front of the headquarters of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) in the capital. The demonstration is another attempt by the formation to express its disagreement with the planned introduction of the euro and to defend the preservation of the Bulgarian lev as the national currency.
Today's protest comes just days after "Vazrazhdane" representatives entered the BNB building, claiming to be conducting a "secret mission" by the International Monetary Fund. In response to these actions, the Bulgarian National Bank categorically condemned the behavior, defining it as "unacceptable".
