Sofia residents staged another demonstration outside municipal headquarters to challenge parking fee reforms set for implementation next year. Protesters condemned the doubling of zone rates as extortionate revenue collection rather than genuine solutions to chronic space shortages, arguing that authorities aim to make vehicle ownership financially untenable through punitive pricing instead of addressing infrastructure deficits.
Demonstrators demanded officials first construct adequate facilities before imposing restrictions, characterizing current proposals as deceptive attempts to extract funds from motorists without corresponding investment in parking capacity. The group threatened escalated action if administrators refused to revise the ordinance, particularly to accommodate central district inhabitants facing disproportionate impacts from the regulatory changes.
