Clashes as students try to blockade politicians inside Bulgarian parliament



12/11 15:57 CET

University students have tried to blockade politicians inside the Bulgarian parliament in Sofia as part of an ongoing protest against alleged corruption and the way the country is run.

Hundreds formed a human chain outside the building, leading to clashes with riot police, also there in large numbers, who pushed them away with force.

The students, who have been staging sit-ins at universities, said the call to “occupy” parliament was an attempt to have their voices heard.

They want the Socialist-led government, which took office in May, to resign.

This photo really moved me so much that i decided to try and raise awarenes to what is going on in my country.This girl was crying and begging the policeman not to hit her or any of her friends.Then the policeman started crying aswell and he said to her : "You just hold on girl."See he wasn't going to beat her ( like his colleges did to many others ) but he was given an order to push everybody who was protesting against our corrupt goverment so that the goverment officials could go to their homes."Divide and conquer" that's thair moto i guess.They turn us against each other.

(edit)
This photograph is not made by me it's made by a photographer by the name of Torod Musev.
I take no credit.All I want to do is raise awareness.Thanks for all the support from all of you!
