Blockades of the protesters, along with the repairs of Sofia's infrastructure, would lead to serious traffic problems in September, when the summer vacations would be over and when children go to school. This was what Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova predicted in an interview with bTV.

"For more than 45 days, organizers refuse to abide by the law, yet calling for the rule of law. I hope that protesters would understand that blocking intersections causes difficulties to citizens, not to politicians. Politicians and oligarchs do not ride on the trolleybus," the city mayor added.
