The Yambol municipality has announced that the demolition should be finished in 40 days. According to data, the price of the demolition and the removal of the remains is BGN 130,000 VAT excluded.
The Roma were evicted Thursday with increased presence of police and firemen,after local authorities declared an emergency situation in the area and а 10-year-old girl was brought to the Yambol hospital Wednesday evening in critical condition. The girl was injured when some Roma, angered by the order, began tearing down the panel construction. 2 people have been arrested in connection with the incident. They have made full confessions.
Despite the eviction, scores of Roma families remain in the area, living in the fields around the building, saying they have nowhere to go and insisting to return inside. They also refuse to send their children to school, demanding social services must first come and see how they live.
