The majority of the so-called "locals" (participants in youth gangs that have sprung up in the country in recent years) have already been identified and work is being done with their parents, Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov said. The gangs consist of aggressive young people, often from wealthy families, dressed in black sportswear, who go in groups and attack and beat random people, destroying public and private property.
Yesterday, at a briefing, the Minister of Justice Georgi Georgiev said that preparations start for a draft of an entirely new law on juvenile justice.
"The Ministry of Interior is not to blame for the emergence of the so-called ‘locals’," the Minister of Interior says. According to him, these are phenomena that have been neglected for decades. "The decades-long cult of criminals, chalga music, expensive things and cars, leads to this. Sometimes the lack of parental care, of adequate attention of the educational system to this type of adolescents leads to such a phenomenon," he commented.
