"Neither the politicians, nor Borissov, nor the government, nor Geshev will hear us. This is clear, we do not hold such illusions. What we have to do is take them down by force, which is what we are trying to do." This is what lawyer Nikolay Hadzhigenov, one of the organizers of the protests, told a BNR reporter. He stressed that the blockades of roads across the country will continue. 
"We will escalate the protests further, we will do something new every day until we break their arms - there is no other way," Hadzhigenov said.
