MP Nikolay Hadzhigenov from “Stand up BG! We are Coming” coalition showed in Parliament a video footage containing police violence during last year’s antigovernment protests. This happened during the sitting of the Ad-hoc committee that was set up to investigate Police violence during the antigovernment protests on September 2, 2020. 

The video was shot by a camera installed on the Council of Ministers building. In Nikolay Hadzhigenov’s words, the National Service for Protection has been hiding the footage until now. The National Assembly ad-hoc committee is to hear officials from the Ministry of Interior and the structures in charge of the protection of last year’s protests.
