In Plovdiv, a police cordon stopped the protest march

Last night there were protests in various cities of the country. A police cordon stopped the protest march in Plovdiv, NOVA reported.

The reason: people deviated from the route previously announced in the municipality and headed to the building of the Third Police Department in the city.

The reason for this was the information about an arrested young man who asked for “resignation” in front of one of the hotels in the city, where Tsveta Karayancheva, the president of the National Assembly, was supposed to be.

After the uniformed men blocked the procession, people occupied the entrance of the hotel and some of them even broke inside. Later they saw that Karayancheva was not there and they went out again and blocked the Starinna Bath crossing.
