The European Parliament is to discuss today, October 5, the ongoing anti-corruption protests in Bulgaria demanding the resignation of the Bulgarian government and prosecutor general Ivan Geshev, BNR's correspondent in Brussels Angelina Piskova reported. 

The debates are related to a vote on a resolution for Bulgaria, which is expected to take place on Thursday. The document states that in Bulgaria there is a significant deterioration of the principles of the rule of law, democracy and fundamental civil rights. Concerns have also been expressed about media freedom, the working conditions of journalists over the past 10 years. 

Before the debates, Prof. Velislav Minekov from the so-called "Toxic Trio" which is the organizer of the protests, together with other Bulgarian citizens, will be heard before the European Parliament.
