"We Continue the Change" (PP) party called for a protest and blockade of the National Assembly building to stop the adoption of the budget for next year. The MPs are discussing the budget at first reading. PP received support for their idea from "Vazrazhdane" and criticism from GERB leader Boyko Borissov. "Yesterday we saw the 'triangle of power' (the space between the parliament building, the Council of Ministers and the presidency in the center of Sofia), full of people who are absolutely dissatisfied with the policy of this government, with this budget that wants to reach into their pockets to fill the coffers of those in power," PP leader Asen Vassilev said, reporter Maria Fileva informed.
Last night, a protest organized by PP was held in Sofia under the slogan "Freedom for Political Prisoners", which began in front of the parliament and ended in front of the building of DPS – New Beginning. The protesters spoke out against judicial arbitrariness and the transfer of the detained mayor of Varna Blagomir Kotsev and former deputy mayor of Sofia, Nikola Barbutov, from detention to prison.
