President Rumen Radev announced on his Facebook profile that the protests were not from smugglers and the mafia, but from the Bulgarian people.
He called on the people in the square not to succumb to provocations.
Our moral victory as a society will be to preserve civil peace, despite the insults, provocations and demonstrative trampling of democratic principles by the power that has lost all confidence, the head of state is blunt.
According to him, change is inevitable and any government stubbornness only deepens the crisis.
Here is the entire position of the president:
The mass protest belongs to all citizens. Neither the smugglers nor the mafia are in the squares today, but the Bulgarian people, who are the only sovereign under the Constitution and determined to regain their status.
I call on everyone in the square today not to succumb to provocations. Responsibility for the prevention of incidents, the life and health of the protesters and the usual uniformed officers rests with the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior.
That all the participants in the event (citizens, police and gendarmerie) do not forget that we are Bulgarians. That the vocation of the uniformed is to ensure the safety of citizens. Such violence between government and citizens has no place in the future for which all decent people fight and will achieve.
Our moral victory as a society will be to preserve civil peace, despite the insults, provocations and demonstrative violations of democratic principles by the power that has lost all confidence.
Change is inevitable. Any stubbornness of the rulers only deepens the crisis.
