The demands remain unaltered – resignation of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and of Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev and the introduction of machine voting.
Another demand was added last night – the resignation of the Mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova for her failure to cope with the pressing problems of the capital city, and for the way procurement contracts are handed out.
