20-km long line of vehicles blocked traffic on Trakia highway because of a protest march of cars driving at 50 km/h. The car rally, which was organized by "Together Movement", started from Sofia and headed for the town of Pazardzhik. Later, the cars returned to the capital city. A long line of vehicles was formed on the motorway, because protesters were driving slowly. BNR reporters informed that at around 2 pm, the procession took the road back to the capital. Earlier, the line of vehicles crossed the central part of Pazardzhik and stopped for about 20 minutes in front of the Pazardzhik Municipality building. Protesters called on the residents of Pazardzhik to join the protests and the demands for resignation of Premier Borissov and Prosecutor General Geshev. At 2.30 pm Traffic Police told Horizont channel that traffic at Trakia motorway returned to normal.
