Five protests in Sofia today  - 1

For today, the Sofia Municipality has received five notifications for holding mass events, marches and protests.

The Lukovmarsh torchlight procession is scheduled for 5 p.m. Over the years, the procession, which is in memory of Hristo Lukov - a military minister during the Kingdom of Bulgaria and a supporter of Nazi Germany - has been stopped by the Sofia Municipality due to its far-right nature. This year it will take place because the court has overturned the ban of Mayor Vasil Terziev, BNR reminds.

At 10:30, opponents of the Lukovmarsh will gather in the garden in front of Sofia University for the usual counter-march under the slogan "No Nazis on our streets".

A protest by the "Vazrazhdane" party is planned for 12 p.m. against the introduction of the euro before the Bulgarian National Bank.
