The purpose of the protests remains unchanged, despite the changes in the government, the intentions to convene a Grand National Assembly and to make changes to the Constitution. Protesters are calling for the resignations of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev, the head of the anti-corruption commission and former Chief Prosecutor S.
