Protesting miners and energy workers blocked key roads across Bulgaria on Friday - Trakia motorway, Struma motorway, and the Danube Bridge border crossing. Their demands are for revisions of the Territorial Just Transition Plans (TJTPs) in the coal regions across the country. Energy workers urged the Council of Ministers to postpone their agenda item on the TJTPs, which was to be considered during a Friday extraordinary meeting.
