Everyday rallies downtown Sofia block further the congested traffic in the Bulgarian capital, frenzied drivers complain, hoping the government would soon fulfill the demands of the protesters.

On Tuesday, many of the citizens in Sofia have been desperately trying to find an alternative way to reach their work places, as more than 2000 workers of the troubled steel-maker Kremikovtzi blocked the city traffic once again.

The workers have been protesting continuously over the past year, causing headaches to drivers, who have not experienced lately a protest-free day in the city, blocked also by the rallies of milk producers, grain producers, disabled people, environmentalists, etc.

It seems the number of motorbikes and other alternative vehicles capable of avoiding traffic jams is on the rise in Sofia as the government say protesters' demands are not easily fulfilled.
