'NO MORE MAFIA RULE': Furious Bulgarians Burn Streets, Challenge Corrupt Elites! | Times Now World

Tens of thousands of Bulgarians took to the streets of Sofia on Monday night to protest a draft budget that sharply increases taxes and social security contributions. Protesters, led by the opposition coalition "We Continue the Change," clashed with police, burning trash, blocking roads, and vandalizing party offices while demanding immediate resignations from government officials. Riot police deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd as tensions escalated.

The movement is being driven by a growing wave of young Bulgarians, including students, schoolchildren, and content creators, who rallied under banners reading "Generation Z is Coming – Young Bulgaria Without Mafia." Opposition figures and public personalities energized the crowds, declaring that the power of the people “cannot be stopped.” Analysts say the protests reflect mounting frustration over high taxes, corruption, and the government’s handling of the country’s budget ahead of Bulgaria’s planned entry into the eurozone next year. #sofiaprotest #bulgaria #antitaxriots #generationz #wecontinuethechange #policeclash #streetprotests #governmentresign #budgetprotest #youthpower #mafiafreebulgaria #taxhike #riotpolice #fireandchaos #oppositionrally #politicalunrest #civilunrest #bulgariastreets #protesters #publicanger #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
