Citizens have gathered in front of the building of the State Agency for National Security in order to protest against what they call illegal eavesdropping, BNR reporter Nikolay Hristov informed. There is an increased police presence in the area.

"I'm telling you that this here is a factory for creating, storing and using compromising materials in the rudest manner, replacing the vote of the citizens," one of the organizers of the protest, Rosen Milenov, a former SANS employee said. The protesters call for seizure of the structure's data servers and check of its activities.

Today, the Specialized Court announced that it had not allowed wire tapping of caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev or other politicians mentioned in media reports.

Another protest is being held in front of the Sofia Municipality building. Protesters are calling for the resignation of Mayor Yordanka Fandakova and her team over the chronic lack of enough places in kindergartens. Fandakova said that by the end of the year the construction of 25 new buildings would begin and that 16 kindergartens are currently under construction.
