A public Facebook event under the title "A Day Without Boyko Borisov" has been created by Bulgarian users protesting the Bulgarian PM's ubiquity in the media world.
The information about the event explicitly states that it does not intend to voice political criticism of Borisov, his cabinet or the center-right GERB party he chairs, but it simply wants to take a break from what it sees as unneeded and deleterious Borisov-related news in Bulgarian media.
The event is scheduled to take place in "Bulgaria - real and virtual" on July 05, two years since Borisov's GERB swept to power after a spectacular close to 50% win at general elections.
"The event is in no way directed against the GERB party or the PM. Its creators and participants are just looking for a way to protest against the organized and non-organized kowtowing and the attempts to glorify one person above all others without rhyme or reason," reads the explanation to the event.
The organizers of the virtual happening also point out they consider the oversaturation of media with one personality as creating the feeling of autocracy taking place in Bulgaria.
Since its creation on Sunday, the Facebook event has been steadily growing, and has reached more than 1,200 attendees as of Sunday evening.
