Bulgarian "nationalists" obstruct a play by John Malkovich in Sofia's National Theatre

Animation director Teodor Ushev:

I come to watch a performance, and the police in a legal state are obliged to ensure access to the performance for every citizen.

There has to be a [police] cordon. This cannot happen in a normal European country. I may be of their opinion.

I may not like the show, I want to see what it is. I didn’t say anything and some lumpen here stop me and beat me and hit me.
