Тhree key crossroads remain closed in central Sofia - at Sofia University, at Eagles' Bridge and Nezavisimost Square. The night passed calmly and without incidents in the three tent camps, BNR reporters informed. According to protesters, more and more young people are staying overnight in the tents.

The space around them remains lively, and pedestrians and cyclists move until late along the boulevards closed to cars. Among the slogans of the protesters for the resignation of Prime Minister Borissov and the Prosecutor General there are new posters "You are not alone" of Bulgarian communities from abroad.
