Protesters blocked traffic on Saturday as well. Despite the kilometre-long lines of cars, drivers showed solidarity and waited patiently, Euronews Bulgaria reported.
A state of emergency has been declared in Omurtag since the end of October. Currently, water is available only twice a week for an hour.
