Demolition of the illegal Roma buildings in the Bulgarian village of Garmen will continue on Tuesday.

Four buildings were demolished on Monday, while two more are targeted for demolition on Tuesday.

The tensions in the Roma neighbourhood were renewed on Monday after a man residing in one of the demolished buildings fainted.

Fortunately, physical clashes between local residents were avoided due to the presence of police and gendarmerie forces.

The tensions in Garmen have been heightened since May when a protest over loud music resulted in a massive fight between local residents.

This was followed by a series of protests against the illegal buildings in the Roma neighbourhood.
