I saw a very wide range of people at the protest in Sofia and it seems to me that this was the protest of people who want to be asked, said the chairman of MECH Radostin Vassilev, FOKUS reported.

"I strongly oppose the thesis that people who are illiterate are defending the Bulgarian lev. I am strongly against the fact that people do not understand what is happening and are not informed and that some propaganda has suggested to them that there will be an apocalypse. These people are very well aware of what they are doing there."

According to him, 90% of the people he saw in the squares were non-partisan.

"A very small part, a core of "Vazrazhdane" in front of some flags. There were also their sympathizers, but 90% of the people were not their sympathizers."

Vassilev believes that President Rumen Radev's proposal for a referendum is a political act.

"It is time for him to determine what he will do from now on, because MECH is a new project, and MECH will grow, and I only see opportunities for us and for Bulgarians from a project by Radev. I do not see a threat or concern. Radev has very seriously targeted the left-wing electorate, the non-voters, the disappointed, the reactionary."
