It will pass along the Trakia highway to Pazardzhik and back. Organizer of the rally is the "Together" Movement. Another protest, organized by the MIR party, was convened in front of the building of the Council of Ministers with a request for machine voting in the parliamentary elections, BNR reporters inform.
