Bulgaria's extremist nationalist party Ataka is demanding the immediate resignation of the Chief of First Police Precinct in Sofia, Daniel Pashov, for inactivity during the Sunday protest rally.
In a declaration of the party, sent to the media, the nationalists say that as usual the Ministry of Interior and its employees from the precinct have been idle, tolerate crime in the capital and failed to retain offenders.
"Around 4 pm, protesters, who blocked both lanes of the main thoroughfare "Tsarigradsko Shosse," burned a billboard with an image of the leader of Ataka Volen Siderov. The police failed to intervene and there is no information about any arrests for destruction of private property," the declaration of Ataka reads.
According to them, their Alfa TV had footage from the incident and an eyewitness has identified among the "arsonists" blogger Asen Genov, who has been one of the most active participants in the anti-government demonstrations in Bulgaria and the "protest network" association that they established.
Therefore, the nationalists urge for Genov to be arrested "for criminal vandalism."
Commenting for the bTV news broadcast, Genov stated the nationalists' claim against him was "lies and slander," stressing he intended to seek his rights in Court. The blogger asked Ataka to immediately publish the video with the billboard burning. He insists he has been at another location at the time and had witnesses to prove this.
