Around 1000 protesters have gathered at the rear door of the Parliament building in downtown Sofia to demand the resignation of the socialist-led government of Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski.
The event, titled "Let's Meet Over A Cup Of Coffee in front of Parliament", was yet again organized via social networks.
The idea is to enable protesters to meet with members of Parliament as they enter the Parliament building Wednesday morning.
The people are chanting "Mafia!", Resign!", "Thrash!", waving Bulgarian flags and booing, according to reports of the Focus news agency.
There is increased police presence.
Wednesday is the 13th consecutive day of protests in the country and a bigger rally is to start at 6 pm.
The demonstrations were triggered by the appointment of notorious media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS), which was eventually reversed, yet protesters went on to demand the resignation of the socialist-led government of Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski over ties with oligarchs, an end to opaque policies, and Election Code amendments aimed at guaranteeing a greater representation of Bulgarian citizens in the government.
