Parents and relatives of road traffic victims protested again in Sofia. They insist that measures be taken to reduce traffic accidents resulting in death and injuries. The protesters gathered in front of the former Party House, which houses the National Assembly, and pasted obituaries of deceased relatives on the building's facade. Later, the procession passed along the pedestrian crossing on Gurko Street, where a drunk driver killed fifteen-year-old Philip.

"All leaders should sit down together and explain why the killers are at large while our children rot in the grave, why we have to wait for years for forensic tests, blood tests, court decisions, why killers flee abroad with the permission of the state," said Petya Ivanova who is one of the protesters.
