Friday, November 8th marks the 17th consecutive day of the “OCCPY” protest campaign against the current Bulgarian government.
Students from Bulgaria's “OCCUPY” protest movement spend their time in discussions, guitar playing and poster preparation.
The movement started on October 23rd when students from Bulgaria’s oldest and most prestigious University, Sofia University "St Kliment Ohridski" occupied a lecture hall as a sign of protest against the controversial decision of the Constitutional Court to reinstate media mogul Delyan Peevski as lawmaker.
Currently the protesting students demand the resignation of the Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski’s government.
