A man dressed in a priestly robe and carrying a cross stood in front of the government car of the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs in central Sofia, shouting curses and insults.

The incident triggered a security response, and police intervened to remove the man from the road. Video footage of the event quickly spread on social media.

It turned out that the man was not a real priest, but a fake one who had decided to cause a scene in front of a government official.

Bulgarian authorities identified him and are taking measures regarding the incident, which disrupted normal traffic and raised questions about the security of government officials.
