Protesters hurled eggs, balloons filled with water, plums and tomatoes at the National Assembly building on the 71st day of antigovernment protests in Bulgaria. The demonstration against National Assembly Speaker Tsveta Karayancheva was organized by mothers of children with disabilities from the civil initiative “The System is Killing Us”

Demonstrators expressed their anger, because a young man with disabilities was denied access to toilet during the protests in the Parliament’s lobby. That is why protesters left toilet seats on the stairs in front of the National Assembly building with messages to Tsveta Karayancheva and demanded her resignation.
