The founder of the rock group "Pink Floyd", Roger Waters, on Friday, during a performance in Sofia, supported the anti-government protests in Bulgaria that have been going on since June.

The striking slogan of the demonstration, "Resignation", appeared in Bulgarian on the "wall" during the concert, at the moment when the group performed the song "Mother", precisely in response to part of the lyrics of that song: "Mother, should I trust the government?" .

The audience reacted enthusiastically by chanting "Resignation, resignation!".

The final applause at the end of the concert at the Vasil Levski Stadium in Sofia, where more than 40.000 people were present, also took place with the audience chanting "Resignation-resignation!".

Demonstrators have been gathering daily for more than two months in Sofia, demanding the resignation of the technocratic government of Plamen Orešarski, which has the support of the socialists, and accusing it of being "ruled by an oligarchy".

While thousands of demonstrators gathered every day in June and July, this month, when Sofia was empty due to vacations, that number dropped to about a hundred.

Demonstrators have announced that they will gather on September 4 when the Bulgarian Parliament resumes its session.
