Nikolay Denkov from PP-DB told BTV the massive demonstration was about government dishonesty and corruption, calling it the biggest turnout in 25 years. He separated the peaceful march from the violence that kicked off after 10 pm, saying his parliamentary group had zero connection to the agitators who trashed stuff. Denkov announced they're demanding the government step down immediately.
He warned that more protests will happen if Borisov keeps flip-flopping on whether the 2026 budget is actually withdrawn or just paused, and people are demanding bigger changes than what's being offered. Multiple organizations already told officials how to fix the budget proposal.
Denkov pointed out that specialized police units exist specifically to handle riots, but the interior ministry needs to purge provocateurs from its ranks before anything improves.
