Relatives and sympathizers with the tragedy of the murdered Philip Arsov gathered in front of the Courthouse in Sofia. A 37-year-old driver hit the boy with his car last September on a footpath in the capital.
According to the experts, at a permitted speed of 30 km/h, he was driving at a speed of 88 km/h and under the influence of alcohol.
Protesters blocked “Alexander Stamboliyski“ Blvd. The initiative belongs to Philip's parents and those of other children who died on the road. They called for fair sentences, new road safety legislation and life sentences for drivers who cause death.
"Staying at home for this person means that he is in comfort, he is free - he can safely watch TV, he can safely invite guests to his home while our child rots in the ground," said Nikolina Petkova , Philip's mother in front of Nova TV.
