I live in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

I got an email today from the US Embassy in Sofia warning US citizens
to stay away from a demonstration in the center of the capital, Sofia.

Can't resist posting this description. Note that the protest - and
attempt to enter the Parliament - was
supported by a pro-Russia party.

Russia's just trying to stir up trouble in yet another neighbor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four police were taken to hospital after being injured in a struggle
with protesters against the green certificate system who were trying
to force their way into Bulgaria’s Parliament in capital city Sofia on
January 12.

The protesters, numbering more than 1000 – many of them brought in
from other parts of Bulgaria on buses provided by “anti-vaxxer”,
pro-Kremlin political party Vuzrazhdane – made repeated attempts to
get into the legislature building. Reporters at the scene said that
arrests of the more aggressive protesters were made.

The protest came on the day that a record number of new cases of
Covid-19 were reported in Bulgaria, the country with the lowest rate
of vaccination in the EU-EEA, well below the average.

As the protest began, police took into custody a man near the steps of
Parliament who was found in possession of a firearm.

The protest began as Parliament’s sitting for the day ended. Standing
committee meetings that had been scheduled for the afternoon were
cancelled.

Protesters carried posters saying “hands off our children” and “I want
a normal life” and there were chants of “freedom” and “Bulgaria”. Some
participants carried Confederate and Gadsden flags, while at one
point, Russian songs were played on the PA system.
