The Pass of the Republic remains blocked to traffic for the 10th hour of the protest of the energy workers and miners from Maritsa East complex on September 29. All bypass routes are blocked, which is why there are kilometres-long queues of cars in the area.
The protesters plan to stay on the road throughout the night and say their blockade is indefinite until their demands are met.
Protesters disagree with Stara Zagora's territorial plan for just transition. They chant "Resign" for the government and say they will not back down from their demands. Shortly after 6 p.m. they were joined by the second shift from Maritsa East 2 power plant.
The people are demanding that their jobs and Bulgaria's energy independence and stability be guaranteed.
