Boris Stanimirov

A Bulgarian lawmaker has proposed to introduce military training for volunteers willing to help police and army personnel protect the border with Turkey from crossing by irregular migrants.

The rationale behind the proposal made on Monday by Boris Stanimirov, a MP from Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB), is to put the so-called civilian border patrols under state control.

Bulgarian politicians and experts have taken a hard line on the Islamist terror attacks in Brussels, which killed 34 people on Tuesday, blaming them on failed policies of multiculturalism.
