Last night’s protest in Sofia against violence and in support of the assaulted girl from Stara Zagora ended at Eagles Bridge at 10 PM.
The participants in the protest, organized on social media in front of the central Sofia courthouse, later walked across the city’s main pedestrian zone, temporarily blocking major roadways. Demonstrations took place in many other towns nationwide.
