An anti-government protest was held in front the Council of Ministers building in central Sofia. Protesters blocked traffic on Dondukov and Tsar Osvoboditel boulevards. MPs from “Vazrazhdane”, representatives of “The Left!” coalition and MIR party also attended the rally.

Protesters demanded that the National Assembly be dissolved and the government resigns.  "We have the same demands as in 2020 - a change in the model of governance. Many of those who were on the square in 2020 are now colluding against those who protested," said one of the participants.
