Citizens living in Sofia's Quarter of Krasno Selo hissed and threw eggs at Mayor Boyko Borisov while he was turning the first sod of a new kindergarten on Thursday.

The stormy reaction was triggered by rumors that a business center will be built along with the kindergarten, adding to the over-construction in the region.

The mayor managed to appease the crowd reassuring the people the information they got was false. The district Mayor Plamen Tsarnorechki confirmed Borissov's statement.

A woman, who threw eggs at Sofia mayor, has been pushed aside by police officers immediately after the incident.
