Thousands of Bulgarians flooded the streets of Sofia to protest the 2026 budget plan, sparking clashes with police as anger over rising taxes and alleged corruption boiled over. Demonstrators accused lawmakers of “crossing red lines” and governing with arrogance, while President Rumen Radev blamed “mafia provocation” for the violence and called for the government’s resignation. Protesters demanded the budget be withdrawn as the country prepares to adopt the euro in 2026.
