A protest demanding the resignations of Bulgaria’s cabinet and of this country’s Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev was held on Wednesday evening downtown Sofia for the seventh consecutive day. Although Premier Borissov demanded the resignations of three cabinet ministers- the Minister of Finance Vladislav Goranov, Minister of Interior Mladen Marinov and Minister of Economy Emil Karanikolov, the news did not assuage the discontent of protesters. They announced that protests would stop only when Premier Boyko Borissov and Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev step down.
Last night’s protests were also accompanied with attempts for provocations by football fans who lit smoke grenades with sharp suffocating smell and made Nazi salutes. Two persons aged fifteen and sixteen who were wearing knives and pyrotechnic substances were detained.
