Scores of citizens staged on Sunday a fourth rally to show support with the embattled cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski.
"Your presence is obligatory, if you care for Bulgaria's future,” organizers of the protest wrote on Facebook.
According to the people assembled, the cabinet should be given the opportunity to show what it can do. They point out that just a few weeks into office, the Socialist-backed government has already made significant efforts in improving social benefits and lowering the prices of electricity.
The protesters in front of the National Palace of Culture said they are supporters of different political parties, but come united because they care for Bulgaria.
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.
