Last night’s biggest protest so far, the 8th in a row, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev, lasted almost seven hours.
There were no clashes with law enforcement. Late in the evening, however, protesters formed a live chain in front of the police cordon to prevent any possible clashes as individuals from football gangs turned up in the square. Hundreds of police and gendarmerie with helmets and shields guarded the Council of Ministers building.
Protests also took place in Plovdiv, Bourgas, Blagoevgrad, Yambol and many other towns across the country.
Two protests have been announced for tonight – one in front of the Council of Ministers building, entitled “Protecting democracy”, and the other – in front of the Sofia Court House entitled “Freedom has no need of a flat cap”, referring to the flat cap worn by the prosecutor general.
