Winter Tourism: 1.8 Million Visit Bulgaria
Bulgaria has witnessed a bustling winter tourism season, with a total of 1.8 million tourists gracing its picturesque landscapes from December 1 to March 25
The Ambassador of France to Bulgaria, Philippe Autie, has visited Wednesday evening the anti-government protest rally.
The diplomat joined the demonstrators at the Eagles' Bridge intersection and talked to some of them as thousands of people took to the streets of the capital Sofia for the 34th evening in a row.
Later, the Dutch Ambassador also joined the opinion of the German and French counterparts.
In reaction to the positions of the diplomats, Foreign Minister, Kristian Vigenin and Plamen Oresharski, Prime Minister in the Socialist-endorsed Cabinet, said they pertained to former governments.
On Monday, Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, MP Tatyana Burudzhieva told K2 radio the German and French Ambassadors should be recalled as any other country would have already done so.
The leader of the Bulgarian extremist nationalist Ataka party, Volen Siderov, demanded from Vigenin to take actions against foreign diplomats in the country.
The series of the peaceful, but mass and persisting anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).
Although the appointment was revoked, the people went on to demand that the cabinet resign collectively over ties with oligarchs.
Protesters are also calling for Election Code amendments which will guarantee greater representation of the people in Parliament.
