S t. Commissioner Georgi Hadjiev said protesters could reach the Unknown Warrior monument by any route, but not through the police cordon.

Provocations by protesters towards the police continue. They advance from time to time. The shaker escapes and rejoins.

Traffic was blocked in the Rectorate of the University of Sofia and in Eagle Bridge.

At 10:40 p.m.: There was slight tension between protesters and gendarmes on the corner with BAS. Protesters drop bombs and bottles and shout “red garbage” at the police.

At 10.30 pm: The protest breaks out, the protesters collect their posters.

At 9:50 pm: They led the police with shields to the front line, which angered the protesters and started calling them “Janissaries”.

At 9.30 pm: The heavily equipped gendarmerie was transferred to parliament. Maya Manolova’s men tried to enter the building, but they blocked their way.

At 7:55 p.m. A small group of “combatants” separated in front of the Palace of Justice.

At 7:00 p.m. The protest listened meekly to the International. It is an international proletarian anthem, the anthem of communist, socialist and anarchist organizations. From 1922 to 1944 it was the anthem of the USSR. The text of the hymn (composed in 1871 and published in 1887) belongs to the French poet Southern Potier, a member of the First International and the Paris Commune. The music was written by Pierre Degateter in 1888. It begins like this:

Stand, oh despised outcast,
on foot, slaves of labor!
Depressed and humiliated
Face the enemy!
Leave without mercy, without mercy
to overthrow the old rotten system!
The world of the Nazis arrives today
forward in the decisive battle!

Towards the end is the following verse:

The state oppresses us,
the laws are against us,
the rich rule today,
the poor do not have the same voice.
But enough patience
we will destroy the old world.
In us is our salvation,
with struggle we will be free!

Following this inspiration with the proletarian anthem, the trio began their speeches.

At 17.00: Shortly after 5 pm, protesters began gathering in front of the presidency in Sofia. Traffic on Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard is blocked, Nova TV reports.

The protest was organized today as the third “Great Uprising of the People.”

The police presence in the “triangle of power” has increased. There are also checkpoints and the police are thoroughly checking the personal luggage of the protesters.

Hours before the protest began, police raided the System Kills Us mothers’ camp. It is located in front of the building of the old Casa de Fiestas. There, the police found and confiscated bottles of saline solution. According to mothers, it is used by a doctor to wash wounds.
