An anti-government information service has been launched in Bulgaria Sunday to publish news and messages related to the protest rallies against the Cabinet Oresharski.

The exclusive information from the protests will be published online at www.noresharski.com and in special press releases.

The new service is established with the goal to provide accurate and objective reports about the anti-government protests.

The information is free for republishing and quoting. The organizers call on media to simply cite noresharski.com or the Anti-government Information Service, AIS.

The team includes people with media experience, who will be working as volunteers.

In addition to news, pictures, and video distribution, AIS will organize press conferences on issues related to current politics and to the protests. They will be held on Independence square adjacent to the government headquarters in Sofia or on the square in front of the Parliament. Media will be notified in advance.

The first such official event of the new organization will take place Monday, July 22, and will feature economist Georgi Ganev, who will address the "unnecessary update of the State budget 2013," planned by the government.

The press conference will be held outdoors on the square in front of the Parliament through the Betahaus office.

Everyone can send materials for publication anonymously.

The series of the peaceful, but mass and relentless anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).

Although the appointment was revoked, the people went on to demand that the Socialist-endorsed cabinet of Prime Minister, Plamen Oresharski, resign collectively over ties with oligarchs.

Despite the protests, the Bulgarian Parliament elected Friday another controversial individual, Vladimir Pisanchev, to lead DANS.

Bulgarians plan to take once again to the streets of the capital Sofia Sunday to demand the resignation of the country's government for a 38th day in a row.
