For the 78th consecutive night protesters gathered in the space between the buildings of the Presidency, the Council of Ministers and the National Assembly to demand the resignations of the government and of the prosecutor general. This time their march took a different direction – they went to the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) headquarters in Alexander Stamboliiski Boulevard which they pummeled with eggs and bags of white paint.
“The Movement for Rights and Freedoms wants everybody’s resignation, but they want to keep the “chief cap of the republic” (Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev),” attorney at law Nikolay Hadjigenov from the “toxic trio” said, and described the MRF headquarters as “the political home of the government’s silent partner – Movement for Rights and Freedoms MP Delyan Peevski.” As always, later the protesters briefly blocked off the intersection at Eagles’ Bridge.
