The effective strike of the teachers in Bulgaria continues for the fifth day on September 28 2007.
The strike committee organised a tent camp starting October 1 just in front of the offices of the President Georgi Purvanov, Focus news agency reported.
The protesters would collect signatures supporting their demands for higher salaries.
Everyday protest rallies would take place between 4.30pm and 7pm.
According to Focus, more than 90 per cent of the schools and kindergartens in cities like Plovdiv, Bourgas, Shoumen and Kazanluk went on strike.
Works will be reviewed by a group of judges, and winners will receive certificates and prizes.
Seven arrested, including ‘The Squirrel’ who was found in possession of 10 00 euro, Interior Ministry says. Mobile phones, computer equipment and drug paraphernalia seized.
Maximum temperatures across the country will remain mostly below zero.
The first tremor was at about 12.34am, followed by another three minutes later. Their epicentres were located between the towns of Radnevo and Topolovgrad.
There was no risk of blackouts caused by insufficient power supply, Economy Minister Traicho Traikov told Bulgarian National Radio.
