The Sofia Administrative Court has ordered Sofia Municipality to give its grounds for dismantling the bronze figures atop the monument to the Soviet Army, BTA reported, citing the court's press centre. The court decision came on 13 December after a petition by the civil platform Stand Up Bulgaria to suspend the removal of the controversial monument. Today, the BSP called for the resignation of Sofia governor Vyara Todeva over the dismantling.

At the start of the dismantling, Todeva said that the figures from the monument would later be restored and exhibited, most likely in the Museum of Socialist Art.
