Bulgaria’s Gen Z Revolt Shakes the Establishment

Tens of thousands of young Bulgarians, mostly from Gen Z, surged through the streets of Sofia and major cities in Bulgaria to protest a 2026 draft budget they called unfair.

Demonstrators opposed proposed tax hikes, rising social-security contributions and what they view as pervasive government corruption.

Slogans like “Gen Z is coming for U” and “Give us a reason to stay” echoed through the crowds.

Masked protesters and police clashed in the late hours, leading to dozens arrested and several injuries.

Facing such pressure, the government withdrew the draft budget, at least for now.
