A rather long article on the Assenovgrad protests against Roma – Protests that nearly turned violent and were stopped by the police. This article is from a vey Bulgarian perspective and cites an alleged “assault” by Roma against a rowing team as the origin of the protests. This is a first one – before, it was a generic protest against “illegal” Roma settlements.
