The anti-government protest will continue tonight under the motto "We are not afraid", calling for the resignations of the government and of the Prosecutor General, as well as for early elections and electronic voting.

On the 115th day of civic discontent, protesters unloaded a truck full of pumpkins in the area of ​​the Council of Ministers downtown Sofia. "We have been living in some Halloween show for 11 years now," Hieromonk Rafail Stefanov said from the improvised protest rostrum, wishing that one day the holiday would remain just fun for the children and people would not be living in today’s nightmare.
