The video was shot by a camera installed on the Council of Ministers building. In Nikolay Hadzhigenov’s words, the National Service for Protection has been hiding the footage until now. The National Assembly ad-hoc committee is to hear officials from the Ministry of Interior and the structures in charge of the protection of last year’s protests.
