Bulgaria's defence minister and his pink cars

Bulgaria's Defence Minister Nikolay Mladenov has come under fire for having two metallic pink official cars in the garage of his ministry. The BMWs were reportedly painted over on the order of former minister Nicolai Sviranov to drive his daughter to a school ball. The daily Sega writes: "If there were a sequel to the film Legally Blonde with Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon it would probably be filmed in Sofia, in the building of the Defence Ministry. There are thousands of colour patterns In the world of uniforms and camouflage. However having official cars painted bright pink could say much about the minister responsible. Either he's a party girl or he's changed his sexual orientation, or he's a case for the prosecutor's office."
