Dozens of citizens have gathered in different parts of the Bulgarian capital Sofia to voice their disagreement with the measures imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus in Bulgaria. According to some of the protesting citizens, there is "an inhumane and amoral lack of decision-making due to which people are starting to face hunger and remain without jobs". The protesters insist on adequate measures for social adaptation because many people have remained without an income during the pandemic.

The organizers of the flash mob declare they do not belong to and are independent of any political parties.
