The overnight blasts in the Bulgarian capital Sofia are the type of incident that has no place in a democratic society, according to the US Ambassador, James Warlick.

The American diplomat made the statement Tuesday, commenting for journalists the overnight explosions in front of the offices of two Bulgarian opposition parties, rocking Sofia overnight and damaging neighboring buildings.

The first blast went off at 3:58 a.m. in front of the headquarters of the conservative Order, Law and Justice Party, RZS, in downtown Sofia. About twenty minutes later another explosion ripped off the air in front of an office of the party of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov, the die-hard right-wing Democrats for Strong Bulgaria.

Warlick pointed out Bulgarians and Americans and their political representation must stand together against political violence.

"I don't know the details, therefore, I would refrain from labeling the incident, but I will firmly condemn political violence as a whole," the Ambassador stated.

The diplomat declined any comments on classified cables sent by him to the State Department and published by the whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks and its Bulgarian partner – the investigative journalism project Bivol.bg. He only explained he had always been very honest in his views and opinions both in public and in private conversations.
