A pro-government demonstration is taking place on "Alexander Nevsky" square near the Bulgarian National Assembly. 

"Future Against Past" reads a poster held by demonstrators. People are wearing Bulgarian flags and Ukrainian symbols. Demonstrators say they support the cabinet, because it has opted for change and because they do not want GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms back to power. Furthermore, demonstrators fear an emerging pro-Russian coalition. Bulgaria should clearly declare its pro-European future and its pro-European perspective, the demonstrators said.
