The Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association has called for participation in a protest on November 26 against the budget for 2026, which is about to be adopted at second reading. "We call not only our members, but also all entrepreneurs, business leaders, self-employed and working people - all who share our concern and social commitment, to come at 6:00 p.m. to Independence Square in Sofia and by being present to declare support for a sustainable, competitive economy, financial and national security and fair incomes," BICA said. The protest is organized by "We Continue the Change" under the title "Protest against the thefts in the budget!".

Before that, at 10:30 a.m., a protest by the National Federation Agriculture and Forestry at Podkrepa Trade Union will be held in front of the Council of Ministers. "Enough with the humiliatingly low wages for the highly qualified work we do every day," protesters declare.
