The police in the southern Bulgarian town of Samokov have arrested two men who were threatening other people with an AK-47 (Kalashnikov) assault rifle in public.

The incident occurred around 1 am Sunday when a group of four men aged between 25 and 36 arrived with a Mercedes ML 270 jeep in front of a local disco, and one of them started brandishing the AK-47 rifle in front of the young people gathered there. Some of the men in question have criminal records for hooliganism.

The three police units that arrived found the Kalashnikov rifle in the car, and arrested two of the men. It is still unclear which one of them used the AK-47. The case is under investigation.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
