The Bulgarian Socialist Party and Vazrazhdane party are organizing a protest at 6 pm tonight in the Knyazhevska Garden in Sofia against the destruction of the Monument to the Soviet Army. "Let's not allow them to desecrate Bulgarian history and memory anymore," said Ivan Takov, Chairman of BSP - Sofia. According to Vazrazhdane party, the dismantling of the monument is illegal and is a "restoration of fascism". The leader of "Stand Up.BG" Maya Manolova filed a lawsuit in the Sofia City Administrative Court against the dismantling of the monument. 

In response to the Bulgarian Socialist Party's request, Minister of Culture Krastyu Krastev said he was ready to be heard in Parliament. The dismantling of the monument, which is currently being carried out under round-the-clock police guard, is expected to be completed by Christmas. We Continue the Change said that the monument will be restored and relocated "to remember the past, but also to say it's time to move forward."
