The European Commission condemns the acts of vandalism against the building of its representation in Sofia which took place on Sunday.

"Peaceful protests are a fundamental right in any democratic society, but violence and vandalism are inadmissible," EC spokeswoman Miriam Ferrer told BNR. She clarified that the Commission would inform the competent authorities to investigate the case.

The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry also categorically condemned the attack. "Such acts contrast and are incompatible with modern Bulgaria, as well as with democratic values," the position reads.

On Sunday, the Representation of the European Commission in Sofia was smeared with red paint during a protest of Vazrazhdane party, in which MPs from the political party also participated. They declared themselves "against the interference of Brussels in the internal affairs" of the country.
