The Velichie Party has announced that they are organizing a protest march tonight at 6 pm because of "yet another electoral manipulation that led to the swapping of the Bulgarians' votes." The march will start from the monument to Tsar Osvoboditel in front of the old building of the National Assembly and will pass through Bankya and Boyana - the places where the leaders of GERB - Boyko Borisov and DPS New Beginning - Delyan Peevski live. 

According to Ivelin Mihaylov, leader of Velichie, there is evidence that the company Information Services manipulated the recount of votes in order to prevent the party from receiving more than 10 members in the current parliament.
According to the results of the parliamentary elections in October 2024, the Velichie Party fell short of 21 votes to enter the 51st National Assembly.
Currently, the Information Services company is re-counting the results.

There will also be a protest of Velichie party in Varna.
