In front of the presidency, in the center of the capital Sofia, a protest is being held entitled "March for European Bulgaria", in defense of parliamentarism and democracy in Bulgaria. 

The protest is organized by the Justice for All  civic initiative, whose representatives believe that if new elections are held, the judicial reform in the country will come to an end. The current composition of the Supreme Judicial Council will remain the same, because there will be no parliament to elect the new parliamentary quota in it, and the Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev will remain in his post. 

The protesters, who are heading to the building of the National Assembly, are calling on President Rumen Radev to support "the people who continued to fight the mafia by which he was attacked two years ago".

At the same time, in front of the Council of Ministers, a rally is being held demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov and the ministers of the ruling majority.
