An officer from the National Protection Service (NSO) who guards National Assembly speaker Mihaela Dotsova was led out of the Military District Prosecutor's Office in handcuffs today. He was involved in an incident with journalist Sonya Koltukluieva. A BTA reporter saw military police drive him away from the building.
The incident took place in the evening outside the headquarters of Progressive Bulgaria on Hristo Botev Boulevard in Sofia. Koltukluieva was then taken to the Military Medical Academy.

The journalist left the prosecutor's office before the guard. She said she had been there for about two and a half hours and that pre-trial proceedings had been opened.
Dotsova went to the Military Prosecutor's Office to speak to Koltukluieva in person and said she regretted what happened. Earlier in the day, the NSO ordered an immediate check.
Footage of the incident spread on social media and brought political reactions and calls for resignations.
