Members and supporters of the parties “Vazrazhdane“ and “Velicie“ blocked the Sub-Balkan Road in the area of the “Vazovskite Masinostroitelni Zavodi“ (VMZ)-Sopot. There is a strong police presence in the area.
The protest is on the occasion of the upcoming visit today of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and the President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen to the state-owned enterprise.
We want to show the President of the EC that she is not wanted here because she is destroying the economies and values of the member states of the European Union, said earlier today MP Angel Georgiev from "Vazrazhdane". According to him, the people who consume power in Bulgaria are turning the country into a testing ground for the Euro-Atlantic powers, who are ready to wage war indirectly with Russia by any means.
The main reason we are here is because we are dissatisfied with the European Union's support for the ruling party in Bulgaria, MP from "Velicie" Kostadin Hadzhiyski told journalists. He stated that Ursula von der Leyen is not welcome in Bulgaria.
