Today is the 37th day of anti-government protests in Sofia.
The road blocks put up by the protesters remain in three key locations – at Eagles’ Bridge, in the space between the buildings of the Council of Ministers and the Presidency, and in front of Sofia University.
At 5 AM this morning a 4th intersection which was blocked by protesters last night – in front of the Romanian embassy – was cleared by the gendarmerie. Three people were arrested during the raid – two because they did not have identity documents, and one for failure to obey police orders, BNR’s reporter report. All three were later released.
The protesters are demanding the resignations of the government and of the prosecutor general Ivan Geshev, and machine voting.
