Citizens of Bulgaria’s coastal city Varna gathered on Sunday in front of the city cathedral to protest against illegal immigration. Since October this year people from the so-called Civil Initiative have been gathering at different public places to show their discontent against the "uncontrolled inflow of migrants". According to the organizers of the protest, most of the people entering Bulgaria illegally are economic migrants and are nationals of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. Meanwhile, citizens of Bulgaria’s Harmanli (Southeast Bulgaria) went on street protests over fears that the Bulgarian institutions do not provide specific and concrete information about the cases of infectious diseases at the local refugee center. They insist that the authorities must close that refugee center and that the management of the refugee center and the Chairperson of the State Agency for Refugees Petya Parvanova must hand in their resignations.
