Demonstrators against the Bulgarian government are preparing to confront MPs when they return from return from recess on September 4.

In particular, Trud reports that the Protest Network, a group that emerged amid the wave of dissent in July of this year, has called for a blockade of the parliament building from 8am so as to ensure a "Big welcome".
