Hundreds of Bulgarians joined the rally in front of the Euxinograd government residence near the Black Sea city of Varna on Monday, calling for the resignation of the Socialist-led cabinet.

The Euxinograd residence is a top seaside destination for many Bulgarian MPs and ministers.

Varna-based protesters had announced they are making plans to besiege the Euxinograd beach by land and sea, but the second route proved mission impossible as they were stopped by coast guards.

Monday marked the 53rd consecutive day of anti-graft protests against Bulgaria’s Socialist-led government. The rallies were prompted by a series of highly controversial appointments and wider concerns about corruption.

Parliament has entered summer recess until September 4, during which time rallies in the capital Sofia are planned to scale down.
