Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova left the Golden Feather ceremony, which took place in the capital’s Largo, after a group of a dozen people came and started chanting, BGNES reported.
“European Music Festival” awarded prominent Bulgarian artists and culture with the “Golden Pen” award. The solemn, 26th in a row Golden Pen ceremony started at 4 pm at the capital’s Largo. At one point, protesters came to the beginning, including Father Dionysius. They chanted “Resignation” and “Fandakova disgrace”.
Yordanka Fandakova left alone.
“I am retiring so as not to spoil the holiday of these people,” the mayor explained to the media.
The ceremony continued. Vasil Dimitrov from the organizers expressed regret that Fandakova had to leave. Academician Lyudmil Staykov, who is among the winners, did not hide when he came on stage to receive the award that he was upset by what happened shortly before.
