May Day in Sofia

The police averted clashes between anarchists and neo-Nazis at a rally of anarchists taking place outside the National Theatre, a journalist of FOCUS News Agency reported. The Federation of Bulgarian Anarchists said they had an official permission for the rally whereas the neo-Nazis had arrived at the site to sabotage the event. Policemen formed a human chain to keep the two groups apart. --- The neo-Nazis are dressed in red clothes and are waving black flags. Some of the anarchists hide their faces with cloths because they don’t want to be recognized by the neo-Nazis, who they consider to be killers. In spite of the attempts at sabotage, the anarchists voiced their demands for higher wages and better labor conditions.
