The protest of Sofia's public transport workers will continue indefinitely

Only the subway trains and several bus lines of a private carrier are running, Mediapool reports.

The public transport workers are demanding an increase in salaries this year by 400 leva (205 euros), next year - by 500 (256 euros), and in 2027 - by 600 leva (307 euros).

Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova said that her department cannot finance personnel costs in the capital's "Public Transport", and the capital's mayor Vasil Terziev said that the municipality does not have the funds to satisfy the protesters' demands.

"The only thing that the persistence of the Ministry of Finance and the Sofia mayor has led to is that the workers are angrier than in the morning and have already started commenting on how they will organize themselves to block the garage entrances tomorrow as well," Shopov said.
