The Confederation of Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) expects some 10,000 people from Sofia, Plovdiv, Pernik, Sevlievo, Blagoevgrad and Dobrich, to gather under the flags.

Trade union structures of miners, health and transport workers, teachers, as well as social organizations will march to the Presidency, the Premier's administration and the Parliament to hand down a declaration with their stance on the economic and social problems of ordinary Bulgarians.
