MEP Petar Vitanov from the Party of European Socialists will refer the new footage (released yesterday) from last year‘s anti-government protests in Bulgaria to the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. "The brutal video footage reveals the essence of a dictatorial regime", MEP Vitanov noted in the social networks.
