Citizens from Bulgaria's Harmanli (Southeast Bulgaria) launched a protest against a migrant accommodation center in that town. Protesters have demanded that the migrant center should be closed and moved outside the town. The declaration adopted at the protest will be sent to Bulgaria’s National Assembly and to some EU institutions. Deputy Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament Krasimir Karakachanov who attended the event received personally the declaration. Instead of spending money to enlarge the capacity of the migrant centers in the Bulgarian cities, we can repair former barracks, build new caravans and build close-type migrant centers near the border, where Bulgarian border police detains those migrants, Krasimir Karakachanov said.
