Let's not overexpose. There was no violence by police officers towards protesters, nor by protesters towards police officers. There were no police officers injured, with the exception of those who gassed themselves and were smeared with paint. He said this in the studio of "The Day Begins" on BNT Petar Petrov - Deputy Chairman of the PG of “Vazrazhdane”.
"Every protest we organize is accompanied by a preliminary coordination procedure with all institutions, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs", he pointed out.
According to him, the protest in front of the BNB proceeded normally, with tens of thousands of Bulgarian citizens, with a lot of police, without excesses.
"What happened after the protest was a spontaneous procession, which often happens", Petrov added.
He pointed out that there is no way to coordinate something without knowing that it will happen. We have announced a protest, which I believe we conducted according to the laws and regulations, he emphasized.
"This is not the first time this building has been sprayed with red paint. The next day, the Russian embassy was sprayed with paint. The perpetrator has not yet been identified, the Sofia District Prosecutor's Office has not decided to detain him, to press charges against him. A double standard on the part of the SRP", commented Petrov.
"Expressing political protest is a guaranteed right of every Bulgarian citizen… I don't think anyone threw stones at police officers. There were no excesses," he also said.
