Thousands of Bulgarians have held an anti-government protest in the capital, Sofia, to demand the resignation of the right-wing government.
The protest was called for by the social-democratic Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and held in Sofia’s Alexander Batenberg square, Bulgarian Focus News Agency reported.
The protest comes less than two weeks after massive rallies in the country against a sharp increase in fuel, electricity and food prices.
Reports put the number of Saturday’s protesters between 4,000 and 16,000 people.
‘Spring of discontent’
Protesters voiced their anger at the government of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov for failing to live up to its pre-election promises of improving living standards and restructuring the pension and healthcare systems.
