The protests in Bulgaria and abroad and the escalation of tension on September 2 put the actions of the security services at the centre of public attention.
“Society is waiting for answers to the questions why the health and lives of police officers and citizens were put at risk by provocateurs and is there any information who these people are? Why the law enforcement authorities used brutal violence against citizens, the vast majority of whom have nothing to do with the provocateurs?”, President Radev pointed out.
