The Ministry of Tourism in Bulgaria has unveiled plans for significant reforms in the tender procedures for beach rentals across the country, aiming to enhance transparency and fairness in the process.

Several hundred Bulgarians protested on Tuesday in Sofia, shouting "Resign" and "Mafia" and throwing eggs at parliament, as MPs voted on controversial changes to the electoral law.

The demonstration ended with clashes between police and a small group of protesters and the detention of one citizen, accused of hooliganism.

Ivaylo Kalfin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor and Social Policy, has been appointed Chair of Bulgaria's National Council for Tripartite Cooperation.

Vladislav Goranov, Finance Minister, will also be a representative of the government on the Council, according to the press office of the Council of Ministers.
