[Bulgaria] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A peaceful protest organized by civil society group BOEC occurred on April 4, 2025, in front of Bulgaria's Ministry of Interior in Sofia, demanding the resignation of the Interior Minister following leaked videos allegedly showing a police chief destroying organized crime-related documents.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. As a peaceful demonstration with low severity, immediate supply chain disruption is unlikely unless protests expand or intensify.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of protests to other Bulgarian cities that could affect transportation networks
• Track potential government response or political developments that might impact broader stability in the region
