Bulgaria’s anti-government protesters have embarked on a 400km march to the seaside to maintain the momentum in the campaign to pressure the Bulgarian Socialist Party government to resign.

The theme of the journey by the anti-government protesters to Bulgaria’s Black Sea coastline is the “Oresharski March”, a nod to the “Radetski March” of Bulgaria’s 19th century struggle for liberation from the Ottoman empire.

Seven weeks of street protests reveal both Bulgaria’s failure, success

Every evening now for seven weeks, the protesters march along Sofia’s ‘yellow brick road’ – named after the colour of its paving stones – past communist-era government buildings and Orthodox churches to the parliament.
