A protest gone bad in Ljubljana – The revolt continues

Posted on November 30, 2012 by markkoghee

A mass demonstration against the Slovenian political elite in Ljubljana ended in riots when hooligans took the stage.
Thousands of Slovenians came to the centre for a peaceful protest on friday evening. The situation went from grim to violent after dozens of hooligans turned up after two hours of protest.

Trouble started after the hooligans marched in.

Dozens of hooligans were arrested.

Riot police sweep Republic Square.

Republic Square full off people. A rare sight. Last time was when Slovenia became independent in 1991.

In the beginning of the evening a doll on fire was still newsworthy.

Before the rioting started policemen were happy to receive flowers.
