The bus driver was the only official of Bulgaria’s Interior Ministry in the bus that attempted to evacuate Bulgarian ministers and MPs during last week’s siege of Parliament in Sofia, according to reports of Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior – Sofia.
There were no other Interior Ministry officials in the bus that the police used in an attempt to evacuate a number of lawmakers and ministers as thousands of anti-graft protesters surrounded the Bulgarian Parliament on the evening of July 23.
TV footage showed that one of the vehicle’s windows was broken a little after 10 pm on Tuesday.
It was announced that stones and cobbles were found in the bus.
“Until that moment the Regional Directorate of Interior Ministry has not spread any other official statements regarding the incident,” the Directorate’s message said.
“Any other details are yet to be verified by Sofia Regional Prosecutor’s Office.”
The embattled Socialist-led government has condemned protesters for turning violent and throwing stones at the bus. But a video uploaded to YouTube now appears to prove that the window was broken from inside.
Several news websites announced earlier Monday that police had confirmed that the window was broken from the inside. Interior Ministry officials allegedly told Dnevnik.bg, Trud and 24 Chasa that the police themselves broke the window as it had already been cracked, so it had to be broken in order to avoid injuries of the passengers.
