1 | Bulgaria: Protests Against Forest Act in Sofia | Bolgaria: Hetsi-panoherana Manohitra Ny Lalàna Momba Ny Ala Ao Sofia |
2 | This week, Bulgaria's capital Sofia was blocked for two days, June 13 and 14, due to the unsanctioned protests against the modification of the vague Forest Act, known as the “Amendments ‘Vitosha ski'” because the changes were made allegedly under pressure from the company that owns ski resorts on Vitosha Mountain near Sofia. | Tamin'ity herinandro ity, vita fahirano nandritra ny roa andro i Sofia renivohitr'i Bolgaria ny 13 sy 14 Jona noho ireo fihetsiketsehana tsy nahazoana alàlana manohitra ny fanovàna tsy mazava ny Lalàna momba ny Ala, fantatra amin'ny hoe “Amendments ‘Vitosha ski'” satria voalaza ho natao teo ambany teritery nataon'ireo orinasa tomponà toby filalaovana fikorisàna ambony ranomandry ao an-tendrombohitr'i Vitosha akaikin'i Sofia izany fanovàna izany. |
