Thousands of protesters occupied the square in front of parliament building in Sofia today, demanding an end to austerity and job cuts.

All train services have been suspended and Bulgaria is heading for a societal collapse as police, doctors, rail workers, students and thousands of unemployed people plan to occupy the centre of Sofia.

All train service in Bulgaria is suspended as the national rail company is bankrupt.
 
Wow--the chainsaws are intense! Plenty of places are having protests nowadays, but I don't know of any others armed like that.
