[quote:Anonymous Coward 34745444:MV8yMTQ0NjI3XzM2MjM5NDU2XzFCOTdGRTY=] [quote:gjgosho 17378203:MV8yMTQ0NjI3XzM2MjI1NjIzXzRBQTA1RkM4] The protests aren't organized by any political party. People are desperate from all the politicians and want to get rid of all of them. In the last 20 years neither the socialists or democrats have worked for the peoples wealth, they only serve to foreign interests. Actually a large part from the Bulgarians want a Balkan union to be made. Sorry for saying this but no one really likes the west or east /usa, eu or russia/ and everyone is fed up with everything that is going on. However, time will show what is going to happen. They got 7 days. [/quote] Perhaps, But without Albania. Otherwise I don't think Serbia and Macedonia would find it to be acceptable. [/quote]

Massive riots have been going in Bulgaria in the last couple of days. The biggest ones that the country has seen in the last 20 years. More than 300 thousand people went out and protested against the ongoing stealing by the bankers and the electricity companies /CEZ, EON and EVN/, piling pressure on the government after a week of persistent demonstrations.
Protesters chanting "It will be the same every day until we win” , paralyzed city centers and demanded the resignation of the cabinet and the re-nationalization of power distributors.
There have been some clashes with the riot police, but in the city of Varna something unprecedented happened. The chief of the city police said that they are on the side of the protesting people, but there still must be no destruction and looting. To show their support of the people, the riot police putted their shield and helmets on the ground! From the other side people gave them flowers.

On 24.02.2013 there is going to be a nationwide protest and it is expected more than 800 000 people to go out on the streets. People gave the government a 7 days period to get rid of the electricity companies and to nationalize the infrastructure.
