Representatives of the fishing and tourism industries are protesting in Varna against the draft law on renewable energy in marine areas. Traffic in the area of the Palace of Culture and Sports was disrupted for 3 hours before noon on Monday 18 March. 

At the same time, a round table on the development of wind farms in the nearby Black Sea is being organised by the Centre for the Study of Democracy (CSD). 

"The so-called CSD continues to lobby for the proposed law. We will show once again that the Bulgarian maritime community and the people living on the Black Sea demand the immediate withdrawal of this bill," said Emil Milev, President of the Black Sea Sunrise Fishing Association.
