Citizens protesting against corruption and the government in Bulgaria are coming out tonight for the 94th day of protest with unchanged demands for the resignation of the government and the chief prosecutor. On October 16 they will demonstratefor the hundredth time, participating in the 5th Grand National Uprising under the motto "Let's sweep away the mafia".

Last night, on the day of the 93rd anti-government protest, eggs flew on the facade of the Bulgarian National Television and there were verbal clashes with the guests in the show "Panorama" by the ruling majority, BSP and MRF.

As every night, the citizens gathered in the space around the government buildings. Young people spoke from the protest rostrum, saying they would not give up their demands for the resignation of the government and the chief prosecutor and would continue to come to the square every day. They also said they were against the arrogance and ignorance of those in power.

Velislav Minekov from the "Toxic Trio" cited data according to which the trust in the parliament is only 7%, and in the prosecutor's office 12%. "Supporters of the protest are 70%, but if we add those who are afraid to declare their approval openly, but want the resignation of the government, the percentage becomes 90," he said.
