Sofia, Bulgaria's capital, has been experiencing the worst day since the start of anti-government protests, where constitutional changes proposed by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's party are being rejected.
Today's protest coincided with the country's parliament meeting, where constitutional changes proposed by ʹ were discussed GERB), Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's centre-right party, and this is seen as its tendency, so that the government can extend the mandate by March 2021, when the upcoming elections are also scheduled to be held in the country.
Even though the constitutional changes proposed to Borisov, he did not appear in parliament today.
On the other hand, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, who is in constant conflict with Borisov and with prosecutor Ivan Gesev, says he wants to show authority.
“does not matter what Borisov says or does not say”, Radev said.
The country's “image has been damaged in Western media, by the prime minister's failure to resign; the only way out is that peaceful”, President Radev said.
Protesters during Wednesday also clashed with police where there were also arrests, the Interior Ministry reported, writes Balkaninsight.
