Anti-EU protesters storm EU mission in Bulgaria

The Bulgarian people understand that the euro is a political, not an economic, tool. It’s been extremely damaging to most eurozone economies and would wreck Bulgaria’s, just like it has so many others before. https://t.co/CCO7znibrs

Thousands of supporters of Bulgaria’s far-right Revival party tried to break into the headquarters of the European Union mission in Sofia during a protest against the country’s plans to adopt the euro in 2026.

Around 10 police officers sustained minor injuries and about six people were detained, a senior police official told international media after the protest.

Protesters threw paint, firecrackers and Molotov cocktails at the EU building in the Bulgarian capital.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the attack “outrageous” in a social media post and said “our EU office has been vandalized.”

Bulgaria’s government, which has been led by Rosen Zhelyazkov from the center-right GERB party since January, condemned the violence, calling it “unacceptable” and contradicting “the principles of the rule of law,” according to local press reports.
