Wednesday evening, Bulgaria was the scene of large-scale protests, with demonstrators gathering in Sofia and in over 25 cities to demand the resignation of the government led by Rossen Zhelyazkov.

The protesters are also demanding the removal of Delyan Peevski and Boyko Borissov from power, as well as the adoption of a fair state budget for 2026. The main rally in Sofia is taking place in the Triangle of Power and Independence Square, where a stage and a large screen have been set up. Three student marches took place before the central protest, and the organizers expect the number of participants to exceed the previous demonstration. The protests coincide with a vote of no confidence against the government, introduced by We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria, which accuses the government of lacking democratic legitimacy. Symbols of previous protests, such as a yellow sofa with the message "Divan, Divan", have been used to urge the ITN leader, Slavi Trifonov, to withdraw his support for the government, which could lead to the collapse of the governing coalition.
