Dozens of people are protesting in front of the Presidency building in central Sofia against possible negotiations between Bulgaria’s caretaker government and Gazprom. The protest is supported by "Democratic Bulgaria" coalition.

According to "Democratic Bulgaria", the caretaker government is restoring the country's dependence on Russia. "Democratic Bulgaria" insists that the country finds alternative gas supplies. The demonstration is held under the slogan #GAZwithme. It will join the peaceful procession for freedom and independence organised by Ukrainians in Bulgaria. The procession will cross boulevards in central Sofia and reach the monument to Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko on Vazrazhdane Square. The participants at the procession will lay flowers to the monument.
