The 85th protest against the government and Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev starts tonight. Traditionally, it will pass under the motto "We are not afraid", and the meeting point is the fountain in front of the presidency in the center of Sofia.

In Sliven, the Minister of Agriculture Desislava Taneva commented on a video sent to all MEPs by the initiators of the anti-government protests - the so-called Poison Trio, which according to the protesters shows cover up of ill practices in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Minister Taneva pointed out that the purpose of the video in question was a "political provocation", BNR’s correspondent in Sliven Stoyan Radev reported. "There is no other minister who checks and controls more, than I do. I can prove everything with numbers and figures," Taneva said.
