Scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences have distributed a counter-letter, with a sharp reaction to their colleagues who recently openly supported the protesters against the government and the Prosecutor General and called for civil disobedience.

The letter states that the scientists who supported the anti-government demonstrations use the name of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences for political games.

The academics claim it is "scandalous and shameful" that a small group of current and former employees of BAS allows themselves to express political positions, demands and accusations, using and standing behind the name of the 150-year-old institution BAS.
