Participants from Plovdiv and from all over the country will join the 64th day of anti-government protests in Sofia, the organizers of today’s protest dubbed “Grand National Uprising-2” from the so-called “toxic trio” said for the BNR.
Law enforcement is putting in place reinforced security measures so as to avoid any provocations of the kind which led to clashes on 2 September, the day of the first “Grand National Uprising”. Check points have been put in place where people wanting to take part in the protest will be checked.
