At the protest, they will demand budget funding to ensure a salary increase. The protest action was announced today at a press conference at the National Press Club of the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency by the organizers of the rally- the trade union organizations from the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labor "Podkrepa".
