Blockades and protests – day four

Blockades continue

The blockades of main roads in Starozagorsko by protesting miners and energy workers continue for the fourth day.

According to the demonstrators, the government did not respect the agreements reached during the preliminary talks. People are demanding that their livelihood be secured after the businesses in which they work are closed. According to Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov, most of their requests have been fulfilled.

Yesterday, protesters and the police reached a consensus – to open the Passage of the Republic only to cars and cars up to 12 tons twice for four hours a day – in the morning from 6 to 10 am and in the late afternoon – from 4 to 8 pm. At the appointed hour, however, the barricades were returned and Hainboaz remained closed to all.

The Sub-Balkan road near Gurkovo also remains closed. There is also a blockade in Radnevo on the road to Nova Zagora.

The Ruse-Sviloengrad international road near Brickel TPP in Galabovo is also closed this morning.

The Trakia highway near Stara Zagora, as well as the Stara Zagora-Dimitrovgrad road, were also closed for the fourth day.

None of the protesting energy workers and miners, nor from the trade unions, went to the meeting with Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov in the Council of Ministers.

They stated that they had been lied to repeatedly and that if anyone wanted to negotiate with them they should go to the highway. They also stated that they do not trust the rulers.
