I was on one of the first demonstration in Leipzig (where it all begun). We were less than 200 ppl.

We stand in the front of an church next to the office where you could claim your leave towards the west. In some minutes police around the 'demonstation' from both end of the roads. One guy leaved us and shout to the police guy in deepest Saxon slang "Hey why you guys stand there like organ pipes ? - go to your (convinient) home."

One of the guys took his hand to his gun - his 2 smiling organ-pipe-neighbours stopped him.

I was 11 when this happens - one of the most clear memories in my head.

It's important to remember this part of the history. Unfortunately many of us, the Bulgarians, tend to forget what was in our country 20 an dmore years ago...
The event will be interesting and is good example of the diplomacy in Sofia.
