For the fifth consecutive Sunday, residents of Pleven staged protests against chronic water shortages, blocking key roads in and out of the city.
Demonstrators split into several groups, halting traffic on major routes including Byala–Botevgrad and Lovech–Pleven.
Organizer Borislav Tsvetanov warned that motorway blockades could follow unless authorities commit to replacing the water supply network and main pipeline. A round table with officials and MPs is planned for September 29.
Citizens in Pleven Region have staged repeated demonstrations over the past year against the long-running water supply crisis. Protesters demand urgent replacement of the main water pipeline and restoration of supply, as well as transparency in the use of local water resources. The Municipal Council has held extended hearings with experts and citizens, but no lasting solution has yet been reached.
