Blocked junctions in Sofia after 21st day of protests, Bulgarians abroad also on protest

    Sofia has dawned after the 21st day of anti-government protests with blockade of two major thoroughfares - on Eagle's Bridge and on Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd. near the Presidency. Protesters call for the resignation of the government, prosecutor general Ivan Geshev and machine voting, BNR reports. 
     
    Protesters have put up tents at the thoroughfares. The director of Sofia Police Directorate, senior commissioner Georgi Hadjiev, has personally talked to the protesters and called on them not to block the traffic as they prevent other citizens from going to work, BNT reports. Minutes ago at a briefing, Hadjiev has warned that today he expects serious problems with traffic in the capital and that there is a risk of physical clashes between protesters and other citizens.
     
    There are protests in a number of cities in the country - Varna, Plovdiv, Burgas, Ruse and others.
     
    On Wednesday, July 29, there were protests of Bulgarians also in London and Cologne, and for this Sunday - August 2, protests of Bulgarians are planned to take place in Vienna, London, Berlin, Oslo, Madrid, Prague, Montreal, Toronto and Athens.
