Workers at debt-ridden steelworks Kremikovtzi organised yet another rally against the plant's closure on May 15 2009 in Sofia. The protests turned violent when demonstrators broke through the metal fences outside the Economy Ministry building and tried to invade. Two people were arrested and order was restored by the police.
