Due to the complicated epidemic situation, protest organizers of the so-called “Poison Trio" announced that they were stopping the evening protest out of respect for the medics who were fighting the epidemic on the front line. The idea is to organize various types of demonstrations to draw attention to important topics. The "Poison Trio" announced its decision during the 116th night of protests in Sofia, on the Day of National Enlighteners.

Despite the decision for limited daily actions, the goals of the protest remain the same - resignations of PM Boyko Borissov and of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev and early parliamentary elections.

Another night of anti-government protests passed smoothly. Protesters briefly blocked traffic in the center of the capital city. In front of the fountain of the presidency, the "Poison Trio" decided to refrain from political speeches.
