On the 74th day of anti-government protests, in addition to the usual rally downtown Sofia in the so-called triangle of power between the buildings of the parliament, the presidency and the government, a party event is also planned. The "Together" movement of Prof. Alexander Tomov, former Deputy Prime Minister, has organized a national conference under the motto "There is an alternative".

After the end of the forum, a protest march and blocking of key crossroads is planned for 3 pm. Protesters call for the resignation of the government, the chief prosecutor and the dissolution of parliament, BNR has reported.

The evening's 73rd protest in Sofia against the current government passed without incidents. Participants in the rally and the protest march told BNR that corruption in Bulgaria was intolerable and that the authorities were trying to silence the protests, so protesters want Europe to hear them. The civic project "Democracy and Rule of Law" has set up a tent in front of the presidency and is starting to collect signals of corruption, which will be sent to European institutions.
