Bulgarian Police Use Pepper Spray at Fringe-Party Protest

(Bloomberg) -- Bulgarian police clashed with protesters trying to break into a government building during a demonstration by a fringe nationalist party in Sofia.

About 30 people -- among approximately 300 demonstrators -- received medical care after police used pepper spray, BNR public radio reported Monday, citing medical teams on the ground. Two officers were injured, the Interior Ministry said by email.

The rally was over a water-supply shortage in a city close to the capital.
