Stones Hurled at Bulgarian Socialist Party Headquarters

An unknown man has thrown paving stones at the main office of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) in downtown Sofia, party officials say.

No-one has been injured. The attacker has apparently broken part of the glass walls around the main entrance.

BSP Spokesman Atanas Merdzhanov warned that "when in the opposition there is so much antagonism and desacrating monuments is perceived as ways of expressing aesthetic sentiments, then paving stones turn into means of expression," as Dnevnik.bg quotes him as saying.

Merdzhanov is referring to last years' incidents related to the Mound of Brothers, a memorial dedicated to the Soviet Army for its contribution to the liberation of Europe in World War Two.
