More than 200 people protested today against the severe water regime in Omurtag in northeastern Bulgaria, despite the bad weather. Currently, water is available twice a week for an hour. A state of emergency has been declared in the city since the end of October.
The State Reserve allocated 6 bottles of water per person as one-time aid, which is absurd, Magdalena Slavova from the civic association "Water for Omurtag" told Radio Shumen. According to her, over the past 20 years, the city's population has decreased by 60%, mainly because of the drought that people have been subjected to for 50 years.
They are demanding the replacement of the water network in the city and an inspection of the repairs carried out in the past 30 years. The association calls for blocking the Sofia-Varna road at the Omurtag exit tomorrow at 12:00 p.m.
