In a powerful display of grassroots anger, thousands of young Bulgarians — many from Gen Z — marched in Sofia demanding the government step down over alleged corruption and a controversial budget plan. Protesters held banners reading “resign,” accused officials of corruption, and called for accountability. With frustration mounting over decades of perceived wrongdoing, protesters say they want real change, not empty promises.

00:00The budget is essentially one of the same if you look at
00:28most of the things that were removed, the other things that were added, it doesn't change the fundamental picture that the government is funding its own organs.
00:37Their main idea is to suppress journalism, to suppress students, to suppress protests and we believe that unless the government is brought down there won't be any significant change.
00:58I believe that the provocators, the people who are causing violence are a very small minority of people who actually attended and personally no, I'm not afraid but I think that it's inevitable in such large protests as you can see right now.
01:13We don't want to hear only words, this is populism, we don't want to hear words, we are tired of hearing words.
01:26I'm protesting so that corrupted government can fall down. I want the PSK and Borisov, they need to leave and they need to leave the country prosper.
01:45It's about money, budget and principles. The people are fed up with all this bullshit and we want our money back. We don't want the money in the pockets of Borisov and Poyevsky.
02:08We are sick of the government, of the bad attitudes from the people in the government towards the people of Bulgaria and we want to have them in jail.
02:27And I want to be here, to work here, to have a family, to have kids in the future and I want to do it in a good country with good politicians that think about the people.
02:45I grew up in this situation where corruption is a normal thing. I think that the people are now pissed and they would like to make a change.
03:07I think going to protest is better than doing nothing.
03:12It's impossible, there is no illegal and people get the wrong comunque fight.
03:19Greetings, everyone is a nice man who must have theirczywiście.
03:26Everyone has a good act.
03:29I am not sure that we are a democratic country and everyone has a good hak as an election.
03:36I'm here because I want to change
04:05our country because there are so many problems and I'm so pissed off of everything that
04:12everyone is talking about. This is not a problem. This is not a problem. Let's talk
04:16about other problems. And I think that everything, like small things, they ruin the biggest.
04:23How do you feel about it?
04:25What do you feel about it?
04:27As I remember, with my parents, I protest for a better future for myself and now I protest for a better future for children.
04:39I lived in a bad way and returned to Bulgaria with the hope that things come to a good way and change things.
04:46But it is evident that it is not so good.
04:49The European army will go to Ukraine and help the Ukrainian people to raise the knowledge of the European people.
05:00The bandits are killed. They killed the enemy. They killed the enemy. They killed the enemy. They killed the enemy. They killed the enemy. They killed the enemy.
