Two protests will be staged in Bulgaria's second biggest city of Plovdiv on Sunday - the first one is against the increase of the electricity tariff demanded by EVN. The protest already kicked off at 10 a.m. in front of the office of the electricity distribution company. The protest is to be led by Krasimir Karakachanov, leader of the IMRO - Bulgarian National Movement. Supporters of Nikolay Barekov, leader of the Bulgaria without Censorship party, will also participate in it.

At 12 at noon a demonstration organised in the social networks will start in front of the Plovdiv Municipality administrative building under the motto "Let us say "no" to the freezing of the Kolodrum [a sports hall], the Zoo and Vasil Aprilov [Blvd]". The protest is staged as the government refused to finance the projects Plovdiv applied with under a programme aiming at growth and sustainable development for [Bulgarian] regions.
