At around 8 PM tonight, after today’s national protest by miners and energy workers is over, an announcement will be made when the roadblocks will be lifted, Biser Binev from Podkrepa labour confederation at Maritsa-Iztok mines said after a meeting between protesters and the trade unions that took place on Trakia motorway.

The protesters say their actions aim to “protect Bulgaria’s energy industry” and that their protest is not political.
