Police officers and firefighters went on a second national protest downtown Sofia to demand a pay rise, BNR reporter Nikolay Hristov informs. Law enforcement officers are dissatisfied with the 15% wage increase planned in the 2021 state budget and demand a 30% pay rise, because in their words, they are also at the frontline against the Covid-19 epidemic.
A counter-demonstration was held several meters away from the protest of the Bulgarian Police officers. It was organized by the mothers of children with disabilities from “The System is Killing Us” initiative. They called on the Police officers to demand a reform in the system and change their attitude towards the rest of the protesters first and then demand an increase of their salaries.
