Thousands of ultra-nationalist Revival party supporters in Bulgaria clashed with police as they tried to forcefully enter an EU mission building in Sofia. The protesters were demonstrating against the country's scheduled adoption of the euro in 2026, expressing concerns about potential economic instability and loss of sovereignty. They resorted to throwing objects and starting fires, leading to injuries and arrests by the police. The Bulgarian government strongly condemned the violence and reiterated its determination to become a member of the Eurozone. Although economists argue that adopting the euro would encourage investment and reduce debt costs, public opinion remains divided, with worries about potential price hikes.
