On the 65th day of the anti-government protests demanding the resignation of the government and the prosecutor general, the motto once again is “We are not afraid”.

Tonight’s protest is scheduled for 7 PM but more people are expected to gather for the traditional march in the central streets of Sofia after 8.30 PM, the BNR reports.

National Assembly president Tsveta Karayancheva said, for bTV, that two oligarchs living outside Bulgaria are involved in orchestrating the protests. “The government is legitimate and at the latest elections 1.4 million people cast their votes for it,” Karayancheva said and stressed that resignations are not going to solve a single one of the country’s problems.
