Protests have several reasons, but they are gradually merging into a single one


Protests and car marches across Bulgaria blocked key roads.

People protest due to high fuel prices, car taxes, electricity, heating gas price increase and low incomes.

In many places traffic was hampered or blocked, causing huge congestion.

Traffic on motorways and main roads in the country has been restored but the protests grew into resentment against poverty, ineffective institutions and a number of other problems in Bulgaria.

Could the protests lead to a fall of the current coalition government?
