PP-DB lawmaker Elisaveta Belobradova told Bulgarian National Radio the whole Monday protest chaos looked completely fake, with violent incidents at DPS and GERB offices seeming totally orchestrated. She claims there was a massive empty gap between actual protesters and the troublemakers at the intersection, and fire crews took forever responding to burning trash cans so photographers could get better shots. Belobradova says cops just stood around while guys smashed vehicle windows, and police ignored her pleas to grab the provocateurs who were clearly waiting for signals.
The MP thinks young demonstrators knew exactly what they wanted regarding their paychecks, and she accused Interior Minister Daniel Mitov of disrespecting regular citizens by not showing up. She says real protesters tried pulling back to isolate agitators once sirens started going off near the Movement for Rights and Freedoms headquarters, but authorities failed to separate the groups even though the instigators bunched together.
