Anti-government protesters have been demonstrating in the Bulgarian capital Sofia for a twenty-sixth day.

The protests were initially triggered by the appointment of media mogul Delyan Peevski as national security chief.

Critics accuse the Socialist-led administration of Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski of corruption and a lack of transparency.
