On the 57th day of discontent against the country's government, protesters remained in the area in front of the presidency in Sofia all day. The protest is held under the slogan "We are not afraid!".

After yesterday when numerous clashes between the police and protesters took place, as well as the removal of the three tent camps in the capital city, the protest is currently proceeding calmly, BNR reporters informed. The demands continue to be early elections and the resignation of Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev.

The initiators of the demonstrations from the Poison Trio said at a briefing that the protests will continue peacefully, as before. They asked who allowed the young provocateurs, who caused the escalation of last night's protest. The trio will inform the embassies of European countries, as well as the United Kingdom and the United States about police violence during the protests.

An anti-government United Protest has also been planned to take place in Plovdiv tonight.
