The protests by farmers  and agricultural producers are into their second day.
Farmers from the region of Blagoevgrad  brought a herd of goats out onto Struma motorway. Agricultural producers blocked  off the roads leading to the border check points Kardam and Durankulak, the  Dobrich-Silistra road, as well as the main road Sofia-Varna at Sheremetya  village near Veliko Turnovo. The protesters from Plovdiv blocked off the  roundabout at Trud village on the Plovdiv-Karlovo road. About 100 farmers from  Kurdzhali region joined the protest of agricultural producers on the  Haskovo-Dimitrovgrad road.
Agricultural producers attempted to block off Trakia motorway but were prevented from doing so by the law enforcement officers policing the protest and were restricted to the emergency lane.
The protesters do not agree with the government-proposed package of  measures amounting to 150 million Leva (EUR 76.6 million), or with the requirement  that they present their tax returns to show whether they were at a loss last  year.
