The 115th day of antigovernment protests in Bulgaria will pass under the motto “Let’s stew Boyko”. Protesters are demanding the resignation of Bulgaria’s cabinet and this country’s Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev. 

The organizers of the protests from the Toxic Trio called on the citizens to celebrate Halloween downtown Sofia with a big pumpkin party. “Everyone can bring pumpkin carving tools, art markers and candles so we can show that our national Pumpkin has few seeds”, the Toxic Trio wrote on its Facebook page.

Last night, Eagles' Bridge was blocked by demonstrators for nearly one hour. Protesters also gathered in front of the building of the Bulgarian National Television.
