Four people have been detained by police following an attack on the tent camp set up in front of the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia. 30-40 masked persons threw smoke bombs and destroyed letters on the monument. A banner reading "Dismantle" was briefly unfurled. The attackers used a black spray to write "We want a Bulgarian monument" on the monument’s pedestal.
The leaders of the "Left" coalition, who oppose the removal of the Monument to the Soviet Army arrived at the empty and illegal tent camp erected in front of the memorial.
The Regional Governor of Sofia announced that the plan for making the monument safe has been prepared and submitted to the Municipality of Sofia for approval.
