EMS workers stage protest in front of Parliament

Emergency Medical Services workers from across the country have blocked traffic to Parliament. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, ambulance drivers and orderlies are demanding higher wages. They sought a meeting with MPs to discuss solutions to the problems in the sector. 

"For night shifts we are paid €0.50 per hour, our meal vouchers are €1, which is a disgrace. Because of the low payment, there are very few young people working for us compared to pensioners and pre-retirement workers," a protester told BNR reporter Elena Beykova. Medical workers are also protesting in other cities across the country.
There are other groups of protesters in front of the parliament building. The civic movement "BOETS" are demanding a judicial reform, imprisonment for GERB leader Boyko Borissov and the opening of a procedure to dismiss President Rumen Radev from office. 

"The Truth and Nothing but the Truth People's Party" calls for Bulgaria's neutrality in the war in Ukraine.

The police presence in the area of the National Assembly has been strengthened.
