Protest in Sofia against high prices of fuel

A protest against high fuel prices is being held on 13^th of June in Sofia. According to the organizers, within a month and a half, the prices of most frequently used fuels have risen by nearly 0.30 BGN.

The protest started in front of the BNB building at around 5 pm, and then the protesters formed a car procession. The organizers say that prices of fuels in the country rose over the past month, despite that there was no change in the prices of crude oil and no change in the dollar exchange rate.
