Thousands of Bulgarians Protest Poverty and Corruption

'Tens of thousands of Bulgarians have staged massive nationwide protests against poverty, high energy bills and corruption.
On Sunday, under the motto “Let’s Set the Monopolies on Fire,” huge number of people took to the streets of different parts of the country, including the capital Sofia and shouted "coward," "mafia," "we are hungry," and "we also want EU financing.” An estimated 20,000 people gathered in front of the parliament and the central bank to voice their frustrations.'
