Around 300 people from dance and music clubs from all over the country organized a protest in front of the Council of Ministers building.

They are demanding the reopening of dance halls and stress that their protest is not political. As a sign of protest the protestors danced the ruchenitsa.

“It makes no sense to open enterprises, gyms and kindergartens and not dance halls,” they say. They also urged that the 60/40 measure remain in place and demanded guarantees of compensation for their work in the event of such crises arising in future.
