A total of 10,000 people are expected to gather on Tuesday in a peaceful protest in front of the building of Bulgaria's government to express their discontent with life in the European Union's poorest and most corrupt nation.
The rally is organized by the KNSB trade union and will gather together representatives from more than thirty sectors, including teachers, miners, agriculture, health and energy workers, as public anger is mounting against the government ahead of the general elections at the beginning of July.
The protest will bring traffic in downtown Sofia to a halt.
