The campaign was carried out in Sofia's Borisov Garden in the form of a music marathon. It was the first activity in protection of Irakli. Such public initiatives could be expected in other Bulgarian cities soon. They aim at making the Environment and Water Affairs Minister impose protective measures and limit coastal construction works.
Thousands of people joined the organisers and signed the list for the protection of Irakli and eight wild coastal areas. A number of Bulgarian public figures and celebrities also signed the petition. Artists presented a new song, dedicated to the protection of the wild coastal areas.
Continuation of the civil protest will be the current debate in the Red House.
