Blockades in the center of the capital city near the Sofia University, Eagles’ Bridge and Nezavisimost Square continue. On the 52nd day of protests, the situation in the three tent camps is calm, BNR reporters informed.
After the 51st night of anti-government protests, which included a concert, a graffiti image with the face of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov with the inscription: "Resignation" can now be seen in the streets. The purpose of the protests remains unchanged, despite the changes in the government, the intentions to convene a Grand National Assembly and to make changes to the Constitution. Protesters are calling for the resignations of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev, the head of the anti-corruption commission and former Chief Prosecutor S. Tsatsarov and BNT director Emil Koshlukov.
A petition against the blockades in the capital, was temporarily suspended on grounds that enough signatures had been collected.
Near the Romanian embassy the so-called "Civil Guard" stays, to prevent possible blockades at the key intersection of "Sitnyakovo".
Today, protests are expected in other Bulgarian cities, as well.
