The thousands of people across the country, demanding the resignation of the government and the prosecutor general, will gather for a national rally on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in front of the building of the Council of Ministers. 

"After the rally, our vacation begins - bring your tents, umbrellas, blankets, clothes, water. We remain in the triangle of power until the resignation of the mafia", the organizers wrote in the Facebook event created by them. They are calling for an effective strike next week. 
Meanwhile, last night for the 17th time, people gathered to protest and put forward their demands, chanting "Resignation" and throwing rolls of toilet paper and tomatoes to the building of the Council of Ministers.
