A peaceful march in support of the Palestinian people will be held today in Sofia.
The demonstration will start at 11:30 in front of the National Palace of Culture, and then the protesters will march along "Vitosha" Boulevard to reach the Council of Ministers area.
Palestinian Fares Fares from the "Al-Quds Jerusalem Committee" explained to the Bulgarian National Radio that he organized the march together with his colleague and appealed to people who will join the initiative.
"People should express a categorical position against Israeli crimes in Palestine, in the West Bank, in the Gaza Strip, and against the Palestinians behind the Green Line. In our opinion, what they currently call Israel, for us is occupied Palestine since 1948", said Fares Fares, who was also the organizer of the marches in Sofia in October and November last year.
He also insists that the situation in Palestine receive wider coverage in the Bulgarian media, as well as more attention from the Bulgarian government.
