A Roma-organized protest took place in front of the Council of Ministers building in Sofia, demanding the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Krasimir Karakachanov.

“Gypsies in Bulgaria have grown exceedingly insolent and the tolerance of Bulgarian society has worn thin,” were Krasimir Karakachanov’s words. Later bulldozers demolished some of the illegally-built homes in the neighborhood, declared hazardous.
