Two employees of Sofia Opera sacked for daubing graffiti on a monument in Japan

Two stage workers of Sofia Opera have been sacked for daubing graffiti with the name of a Bulgarian football club on a wall at the Monument of Peace in the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

The director of Sofia Opera and Ballet, Plamen Kartalov, confirmed this for the Bulgarian National Television on 17th of October.

Kartalov said that he did not know the reasons for the attack on the monument.

He said that the two would have to answer personally for this. “The police will deal with them and then we’ll see what we’re going to do, but we have decided, they are removed from the staff of the opera,” he said. “Given the great success of Sofia Opera and to this triumph of Bulgarian culture in Japan… this is the seventh visit there… this is unprecedented. How can I explain? With an absolute responsibility and discipline in all creative groups and orchestra, choir, ballet, soloists - two people behave wrongly and you see what's happening. We have no personal guilt for their behavior. There is not excuse for the disgrace these people casused. I know that I feel very embarrased because of the behaviour of these people, which is not typical for the Bulgarians,” Kartalov said.

Sofia opera offered apologies to the Japanese people.

Earlier, the daubing of the monument was condemned by Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry, which offered its apologies to Japan. The Foreign Ministry said it was indignant about the daubing of graffiti of the name of a Sofia football club at the Monument of Peace in Hiroshima.

The management of Lokomotiv Sofia football club strongly condemned the act of vandalism. .
