Mladost 1 residents protest against plans for green space
Sofia residents demonstrated against municipal efforts to delineate property boundaries in the Mladost 1 neighborhood between residential buildings 29 and 30. Citizens expressed concern that the administrative process signals preparation for construction on the district’s primary recreational space, where approximately 10,000 people utilize the area for activities, including children’s play and walking.
Local authorities confirmed boundary clarification procedures are underway, but stated no construction permits have been issued for the location. Protesters highlighted deficiencies in playground facilities, athletic spaces, and vehicle parking throughout the neighborhood while requesting the land remain undeveloped or that property holders receive alternative plots as compensation if development proceeds.
