Print - Protesting Bulgarian Students Renew Occupation of Sofia University - Novinite.com Students protesting against Bulgaria's embattled left-leaning government have once again occupied the main building of the country's largest university. The declaration described the end of the previous occupation of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" as a mistake, adding that it was the students" responsibility to renew the protest actions "that have always been carried out in solidarity with the society's interests against the country's most corrupt post-communist governments since 1990." The students once again demanded the government's resignation, citing a number of recent corruption scandals, including the Constitutional Court's decision to keep shady media mogul Delyan Peevski's lawmaker status. The students also demanded the resignation of Sofia University President Ivan Ilchev, as they feel he failed to protect the university's academic autonomy during the previous occupation. "We can no longer accept anything less than the government's resignation, the adjournment of the "National" Assembly and the taking of responsibility on behalf of the people taking part in the failed rule of our homeland," the declaration said. Protesters against the cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski first walked out, June 14, after the appointment of lawmaker and murky media mogul Delyan Peevski for head of the powerful State Agency for National Security. The "college" protests began when students occupied Lecture Hall 272, the largest teaching room of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski," on October 22. Several other universities soon followed suit. The previous occupation at Sofia University was eased in November and only a partial blockade of the building's ceremonial hall remained. The occupation was lifted on January 14.
