The prosecutor’s office is launching an investigation of the Bulgarian National Union. The union is organizer of Lukov March which takes place on 22 February, an event banned by order of Sofia mayor Yordanka Fandakova.
The investigation will look for evidence that a general crime has been committed and whether the event complies with the requirements of the Political Parties Act.
