An anti-government protest under the motto "Let us Defend Democracy from the Boots of Power" is scheduled for tonight. The police presence at Independence Square downtown Sofia has been strengthened. The group of citizens that have gathered in front of the presidential institution is currently small, but it is expected that more and more people will continue to join the third day of demonstrations in defense of democracy in Bulgaria. 

The protest was organized on social networks. There is also a specific reason - the footage on the Internet, which shows arbitrary police behaviour during last night's demonstration.
