Bulgarian protesters demanding the resignation of the country’s one-month-old government have staged a new protest in front of Parliament early on Friday.
The event, titled "Let's Meet Over A Cup Of Coffee in front of Parliament", has been organized via social networks and will take place for a third day in a row.
Reporters says over 200 people have already gathered in front of Parliament.
Friday is the 15th consecutive day of massive peaceful protests in the country and a bigger rally is to start at 6:30 pm.
The peaceful anti-government demonstrations in Bulgaria were triggered by the appointment of notorious media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).
The decision was eventually reversed, yet protesters went on to demand the resignation of the socialist-led government 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.
