I'm no expert on Bulgaria, but I can't think of any scientific reason why they would be less likely to riot over politics than any other country?

You have football hooliganism and criminal gangs and all that other normal human stuff right?




I've been to those protests. 3 hours of football hooligans and extreme nationalists cannot compare to however many months BLM was. I wouldn't call it rioting and there definitely wasn't any looting or burning buildings.

So don't tell me that it's the same, because it isn't. It's possible to air your grievances in a civilized manner, without stealing sneakers.
