Saturday marks the 30th straight day of anti-government protests in Bulgaria, as the embattled Socialist-led cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski shows no signs of willingness to resign.
Dozens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Sofia, chanting “Resignation!” and “Mafia!” each evening for over three weeks now.
Smaller morning (“coffee-drinking”) rallies have been staged in front of Parliament in Sofia since June 26.
Thousands are expected to gather once again at Nezavisimost (Independence) square in Sofia starting 6:30 pm on Saturday.
The series of anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).
Although the appointment was revoked, the people went on to demand that the cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski resign collectively.
On Monday, the Ambassadors of Germany and France to Bulgaria supported the protesters by issuing a joint statement stressing that the voice of civil society must be heard and warning that the oligarchic model is incompatible with EU membership.
