Protesters have initiated a petition demanding the resignation of the government and Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev. So far, 1,400 signatures have been collected. Just like every other night, protesters dissatisfied with the government gathered in the area of ​​the presidency and the Council of Ministers in Sofia, from where the traditional rally to "Eagles’ Bridge” starts. Earlier, protest organizers from the so called "poison trio" said they would not end civil disobedience and will encourage all of its manifestations.

In an open letter to media, nearly 170 scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences have also called for the government's resignation. They expressed support for the protest, saying it was "the only legal form of public behavior".

In the city of Varna, the tent camp continues to stand in front of the municipality downtown. In Pleven, a protest rally was organized in downtown and in neighborhoods of the city.
