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.
Representatives of the counter-protest also gathered in the area of ​​the Romanian embassy in Sofia to protect the Sitnyakovo junction from possible blockades.
In the country's major cities, albeit in smaller numbers, citizens continue to demand the resignation of the entire government led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev. 
In Varna, the crossroads in front of the municipality remains blocked due to a tent camp.
