For the 18th consecutive evening numerous people are gathering in central Sofia in front of the buildings of the National Assembly, the government and the presidency, demanding the resignation of the government and the prosecutor general.

A couple of newlyweds decided to make their photo session against the background of the crowd gathering in front of the fountain of the presidency.
