Relatives of people who died in road accidents staged a protest in front of the Sofia Court House and later in front of the National Assembly. The protest began with a minute's silence in memory of the perished.

 Protesters called for legislative amendments aimed to reduce the number of fatal road accidents. They demand that the use of alcohol and drugs before getting behind the wheel and the flagrant violation of the Road Traffic Act be classified as intentional crime. They also insist that a driver’s refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test be criminalized.
