Police officers and firefighters went on a second national protest downtown Sofia to demand a pay rise, BNR reporter Nikolay Hristov informs. Law enforcement officers are dissatisfied with the 15% wage increase planned in the 2021 state budget and demand a 30% pay rise, because in their words, they are also at the frontline against the Covid-19 epidemic.

It was organized by the mothers of children with disabilities from “The System is Killing Us” initiative. They called on the Police officers to demand a reform in the system and change their attitude towards the rest of the protesters first and then demand an increase of their salaries.
