For the 19th consecutive evening, anti-government protests continue in Sofia and some of the big cities in the country. A group of young people from Pleven, who came to the evening protest in the capital, told the BNR that the social and economic measures presented today by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov to support business and those affected by the coronavirus crisis should have been introduced 3 months ago. 

The protesters have organized two events - a performance with a mass filing of resignations in front of the headquarters of the ruling GERB party and a general meeting of citizens in front of the presidency, which will demand from parliament to consider the resignations of the prime minister and the prosecutor general.
