Bulgarian
Prime Minister Boiko Borisov announced the resignation of his government on
Wednesday. Bulgarian right-wing leader Martin Dimitrov has called for snap
elections in the aftermath of the Cabinet's shocking resignation on Wednesday.
The series of mass protests in Sofia and all other major Bulgarian cities was
initially triggered by the shockingly high electricity bills in EU's poorest
member state. However, many protesters have also demanded the resignation of
the center-right GERB government.

A new Facebook page
was created today named Protest in support
of Boyko Borisov( in Bulgarian -Протест В Подкрепа На Бойко
Борисов) which gathered more than 1700 Bulgarians
in less than an hour.
Boyko Borisov's party GERB (which won the parliamentary election on 5 July 2009 by collecting 39.71% of the popular vote) called Bulgarian citizens from Borisov’s Facebook page on protest at 12.00 GMT.
