Bulgarian people still on the streets against electricity corporations: government to call snap elections

The People of Bulgaria has been on the streets for the last many weeks, denouncing that the new government is carrying on the same Capitalist policies as its predecessor, dismantling the public sector and favoring the mafioso oligarchies. 

In particular they demand that foreign energy companies are expelled from Bulgaria because they squeeze the people.


The average monthly salary in Bulgaria is of some €350.

The Government is considering to call for snap elections, just months after winning them.

Bulgaria: eighth day of massive protests against mafia dictatorship

We have various governments and parties and the same mafia behind them which never changes. 

Sounds familiar? That is how one protester explained his motivation to be once again in the streets of Sofia, which, along with other cities, has been shattered by popular protests in the last week.

Bulgaria: 50,000 march through Sofia against mafioso totalitarian slide

The protest began gathering 7000 people but soon their numbers soared to 50,000. The protests before the Bulgarian Government have been going on for four days already. 

Protesters denounced the government as "mafia" and "trash", demanding their resignation. They also blocked a major road junction. 

The protests were triggered by the appointment as top chief of the secret services of the controversial capitalist and deputy Delyan Peevski, who controls most of the mass media in the Balcanic nation.

Peevski soon resigned but this has not calmed the popular anger, which perceives the government as a mafioso gang opposed to the popular interest.
