Scores of citizens have rallied in front of the National Palace of Culture in Bulgaria's capital Sofia to show support with the embattled cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski.
"Oresharski, save us from the mutri", "For a social government", and "The Oresharski cabinet: the last resort for the poor and jobless" were among the signgs carried.
According to the people assembled, the cabinet has already made significant efforts in improving social benefits and lowering the prices of electricity.
The small rally comes against the backdrop of thousands-strong anti-cabinet protests that Saturday enter their 16th consecutive day.
Anti-government protesters are rallying against a number of questionable appointments, as well as against a perceived lack of representativeness in the parliament elected at snap elections May 12.
They are calling for cabinet resignation, a revision of Bulgaria's Election Code, and new early elections.
