Massive Protest in Bulgaria

(Sofia, Bulgaria)

Thousands of Bulgarians took to the streets in the capital Sofia on Monday to protest against the country’s Socialist-led government for a 25th consecutive day.

As usual, protesters gathered at around 6:30 pm at the Independence Square in downtown Sofia.

The rally then headed towards Parliament and the key Orlov Most (Eagles’ Bridge) intersection, with demonstrators chanting “Resignation!” and “Mafia!”

“The Interior Ministry cannot count,” some banners are saying, referring to claims made by the Ministry that only about 3 000 people had joined Sunday’s rally – despite the number of protesters clearly exceeding 30 000.

Since the street protests against socialism and corruption have taken place every day for almost a month, one would imagine that the mainstream media would be making mention of them. They're not. Don't know why.
