Summary
Clashes broke out in Sofia as thousands of Bulgarian nationalists protested the government’s plan to adopt the euro.
Demonstrators, led by the ultranationalist Revival party, burned effigies, threw Molotov cocktails, and set fire to the European Commission building’s door. Police reported minor injuries and multiple arrests.
Protesters accuse officials of manipulating data and demand a referendum. While economists argue the euro could boost investment, many fear rising prices.
The government remains committed to euro adoption by 2026 as part of its European integration strategy.
It’s a bit weird because the BGN is pegged to the Euro for a very long time. Sure some inflation might occur due to speculation that people won’t notice a price change but that’s about it.
