Bulgaria’s National Assembly is to hold a debate on the fifth motion of no-confidence against the cabinet of Premier Boyko Borissov. The no-confidence motion was submitted to this country’s Parliament by 77 MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party over corruption. The debate is held amid protests in front of the National Assembly building. The protesters started gathering before the discussion began. The organizers of the protests have called for civil disobedience and for blocking the work of the institutions in the country. They have also called for "besieging" major motorways, roads, crossroads, railway stations, airports and bridges. The law enforcement authorities called on the people to protest peacefully and let the institutions do their job.
