Anti-government protesters file lawsuit against Bulgaria's Parliamentary Speaker

A lawsuit has been filed in the Sofia District Court against the Speaker of the National Assembly Tsveta Karayancheva because of her words that "oligarchs abroad finance the anti-government protests and their organizers", lawyer Nikolai Hadjigenov announced during the 68th civil demonstration against the government.

Last night's protests passed without incidents and amid a weak police presence. Citizens blocked the intersection at Eagles' Bridge in central Sofia until midnight, after which traffic was restored.
The facade of the former party house and currently the new building of the Bulgarian Parliament was once again turned into a movie screen, where people watched recordings of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and his cabinet ministers, footage of promises by Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova to open additional places in kindergartens, and cases of police violence against protesters. .
On the occasion of the publication that appeared in the German edition Der Spiegel under the headline "How the Bulgarian Prime Minister Borissov Became Erdogan's Servant", the members of the so-called Toxic Trio recalled the case of the extradition of the Turkish citizen Abdullah Buyuk, who subsequently spent three years in a Turkish prison.
