The Bulgarian Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers (BFIEC) told Premier Kiril Petkov that they were ready to protest over the expected increase in gas prices.

The Bulgarian Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers called on the government to take measures to keep prices at the current levels or reduce gas prices. "Otherwise, we will have no choice but to organize protests, as announced by the employers' organizations," Ivaylo Naidenov said.
