Most parties in the National Assembly reacted sharply today to yesterday’s national protest against the Green Certificate and the forced vaccination organized by Vazrazhdane. Protesters’ attempts to enter the parliament building were described by protesters as „reckless hooliganism“.
MP Nikolay Angov announced that all this was even more because people were organized to travel and encouraged not to use personal protective equipment and all this happened exactly on the day with the most newly infected with coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, reported „BNR“. Angov believes that the lives of the protesters were even put at risk.
„We continue to change“ is of the opinion that the police responded adequately to the events during the demonstration. Angov called on Vazrazhdane MPs to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
For his part, Deputy Speaker of Parliament and BSP MP Christian Vigenin said he believed there were several groups at the protest that tried to provoke an invasion of parliament. He accused Vazrazhdane of trying to help from within, which he did not consider normal.
„There are such people“ stressed that they are also against the „Green Certificate“, but did not approve of what happened during the protest. Stanislav Balabanov announced that this measure is not effective for them and stressed that every citizen has the right to express their position through a demonstration, but protests must always be peaceful and avoid such events, which he believes no one needs it right now.
Vazrazhdane Deputy Chairman Petar Petrov described yesterday’s protest as successful and said there were apparently provocateurs after a man with a gas pistol was detained. But he stressed that he was not from Vazrazhdane and had nothing to do with it. Petrov emphasized the fact that the rostrum called for the rights of the police and journalists who were there to do their job to be preserved, and there was no incitement to violence or forcible entry into the parliament building.
Ivaylo Mirchev from „Democratic Bulgaria“ called for all this to be a lesson and from now on everyone to do their job constructively.
