About 100 people have gathered in front of the Parliament's building in Sofia to protest against the Bulgarian government and demand the Cabinet's resignation, the Darik radio reported.

Similarly to the January ones, the Wednesday demonstration is once again organized by student, retiree and environmentalist organizations. The rally is held under the slogan: "Stop Stealing," alluding to the money that should be directed towards Bulgaria's youth.

The demonstrators have shouted demands to the Members of the Parliament to come outside and meet the people who vote for them.

Otherwise, the rally is reported as peaceful, with less police presence and without provocateurs to trigger clashes with police officers on duty as it happened a month ago.

The organization Union for Development and Social Control over Student Dormitories and Cafeterias (SROKSOS), along with other civic organizations has prepared, based on international experience, a strategy for social control and development of Bulgaria, which is to be presented at the rally. The strategy's main points are reported as business and social progress through better education, scientific research, new technologies, career opportunities for talented young people to retain them in Bulgaria, and policies for the overall development of Bulgaria, corresponding to those of the most advanced countries and societies.
