  • Eight protesters were arrested during a rally in Sofia on Thursday at which 2,000 people protested against the lockdown and other measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The rally, organised by the radical left-wing Vazrazhdane group, was the first mass gathering of people since Bulgaria imposed restrictions on movement and other measures as part of a nationwide state of emergency brought in on March 13 to halt the spread of the coronavirus. The state of emergency ended on Wednesday but was immediately replaced by a "health emergency situation" which has similar effects. The interior ministry said eight demonstrators were detained for various reasons and slammed the rally as "a brutal violation of the anti-epidemic measures" that ban gatherings of large numbers of people. There were brief skirmishes but no serious injuries as demonstrators tried to break police cordons outside parliament buildings in downtown Sofia shouting "Mafia", "Resign" and "Killers". The protesters then moved on to block traffic on several downtown boulevards. Some of those gathered claimed the novel coronavirus was "fake news" and "an international conspiracy", while others carried slogans condemning Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros and the construction of 5G networks. So far the country of just under seven million has escaped the worst of the pandemic, with a total of 2,100 infections and 99 deaths. Bulgaria's restrictions on movement were not as strict as elsewhere, with people allowed to leave their houses at any time. Leaving major cities without a legitimate reason, however, was banned. All restrictions have been gradually lifted since last week with movement between cities now permitted. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and even swimming pools and cinemas have resumed business, albeit under heightened distancing and disinfection requirements. Three recent opinion polls have suggested the right-wing government of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has gained popularity for its response to the coronavirus crisis. vs-ds/jsk/bsp
