Protests for Change in Bulgaria Dwindle

A several hundred people have gathered in what have become traditional Sunday protests across Bulgaria.

The rallies this Sunday have confirmed the trend for a dwindling number and duration of the protests with each week, reports Darik Radio.

Several dozen people gathered in Bulgaria's two largest cities, Sofia and Plovdiv, with not much more than 100 coming out in Varna.

Protesters called for the abolishing of monopolies, especially in the energy sector, protested high bills and called for a change in the political system and economic development of Bulgaria.

Anti-stagnation protests erupted early February, and quickly led to the resignation of former Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov, on February 20.

Since then, protests have trickled off.

Currently governed by the caretaker cabinet of PM Marin Raykov, Bulgaria is set to hold snap elections May 12.
