The organizers explained that they protested against "the unclear policy of the Bulgarian government on the war against Iraq and the irresponsible attitude of Prime Minister Saxe-Coburg." The fence of the building was plastered with anti-war posters. The protestors imitated a box match between dolls of Saddam Hussein and George Bush. The protestors will send declaration to the parliament, president and the government, insisting clear guarantees for the security of the Burgas residents to be given in a period of one week. Many residents of Burgas have expressed fear for their safety after Bulgarian Parliament allowed the use of the air-base in the Burgas residential district of Sarafovo by the US in case of war against Iraq. Bulgaria, which holds a temporary seat in the 15-member U.N. Security Council, has so far sided with the approach of the United States and Britain on Iraq. ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.online.bg/ASP/wwwbgweb2.asp?mode=article&artdate=2003/3/7&artno=35 Bulgaria Online March 6, 2003 Bulgaria steps up security around facilities where US air force is stationed [Announcer] The leadership of the Burgas Regional Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has decided to step up the protection of Burgas Airport and the Sarafovo military recreation facility, where the US Air Force contingent is being stationed.
