A protest against road killings will be held in front of the Courthouse in Sofia. The protest is organized by the “Angels on the Road“ Association, a week after the accident in which 12-year-old Siyana died.
After the meeting point at the Courthouse, the protest will turn into a procession in the direction of the Ministry of Justice, from there to the National Assembly, and the final point will be in front of the RIA building.
Protests against the war on the road have already been held in Pleven and Blagoevgrad. A petition has also been launched in Pleven demanding the resignation of the RIA director. According to the organizers of the petition, there is chronic inaction regarding signals about dangerous sections and inefficient use of public funds. In addition to the square in Pleven, signatures are also being collected in an online petition.
Due to the tragedy with 12-year-old Siyana, the Ministry of Interior has launched a comprehensive inspection of dangerous roads in the country. Police officers in civilian cars will monitor for aggressive drivers on the roads. The regional ministry has ordered an inspection of dangerous road sections with a concentration of accidents throughout the country. After the completion of which, it will be assessed what preventive measures the state will take. Over 2,000 reports of bad roads have been filed in the first two months of the year alone, the Ministry of Interior announced.
