On the 50th day of the anti-government protests, the blockade of three key intersections in Sofia continues. Representatives of the civil movement "Boets" blocked all entrances to the Sofia Court House for an hour in the morning, as part of a series of "surprise blockades". According to them, the institution was "the lair of mafia".

The leaders of the protest in front of the presidency and the government asked the Council of Ministers whether the Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev lived in the state residence "Boyana" and under what conditions and prices? Geshev has told Nova TV that he lives in state property on the recommendation of all security services, and that his family paid rent at market prices. New protests are planned for the evening.

The collection signatures for two civil petitions near the National Palace of Culture against the anti-government protesters is also going on. One calls for criminal prosecution of the instigators of blockades. The second calls for the resignation of Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
