The anti-government protests in Sofia and Bulgaria have been going for over a week now.
The streets in the capital and other major cities are filled with dissatisfaction and demands for immediate resignations.
On the eight day of demonstrations, in order to avoid provocations by agitators, the protesters formed a live chain in front of the police cordon, and as a sign of gratitude for the peaceful protest, the police removed their shields.
The rolling protests have brought together students, small business owners and opponents of Mr Borisov’s centre-right Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party — from nationalists to pro-European reformists.
Bulgaria’s prime minister is under mounting pressure to step down in an outpouring of anger at his failure to control government corruption.
The demonstrations against Boyko Borisov began last week, prompted by a raid ordered by the Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev on the offices of the outspoken critic of the ruling party president Rumen Radev.
Despite the calls for resignation, the coalition council meeting between GERB and the minority partner in the coalition government - United Patriots, decided to continue to govern the country until the end of the term in office.
