In the Bulgarian Parliament, a violent confrontation broke out between Ivaylo Mirchev, co-chairman of the 'Yes, Bulgaria' party, and Delyan Peevski, leader of the 'DPS-A New Beginning' party, following large-scale protests in Sofia. These protests led to the withdrawal of the budget proposal for 2026, and Mirchev accused Peevski of corruption, calling him 'dirty mafia'. Tensions escalated when Mirchev demanded explanations, and Peevski, flanked by officials from the National Security Service, refused to respond and retreated to his office. The protests in Sofia, which were attended by hundreds of thousands of people, were motivated by grievances related to the influence of oligarchs in politics and the proposed budget, which was deemed unfavorable. These events reflect public frustration with the current administration and were marked by violent incidents.
