Yet another case of violence against maid causes outrage in Bulgaria

Photo: Gallery

The 33-year-old tourist from Austria who had been detained for 24 hours after having hit a chambermaid in a Golden Sands hotel only had to pay a fine of EUR 150. A day after his arrest he covered the sanction and left the country. The case has once again outraged the social networks and caused great indignation in the tourist branch, while the trade union organizations of the sector’s employees insisted on legislative changes, in order for such cases to be avoided in the future. This is yet another act of brutality against the personnel of a Bulgarian resort. Last year a Swedish tourist kicked in the head for no reason a maid inside a hotel in Sunny Beach. Security cameras caught the violence on tape.
