The man doused himself with gas and set himself ablaze. Security guards managed to extinguish the flames. Fourth protester sets himself on fire in Bulgaria “He is in critical condition because he suffered burns to 25 percent of his body,” said a Pirogov Emergency Center representative. Three other men have died after self-immolating in an upsurge of public anger since last month against poverty and corruption in the EU’s poorest country. The Bulgarian government resigned on February 20 amid protests and a caretaker technocrat government will run the country ahead of early elections on May 12. (Beta/AP) Tanjug
