SOFIA, Bulgaria – Several hundred students have blocked access to Bulgaria's largest university, demanding the dissolution of Parliament and calling for new elections.
The protest at Kliment Ochridsky University in the capital, Sofia, will likely energize an anti-government movement that has spent four months protesting the country's leadership.
The demonstrators' unhappiness stems from allegations that government leaders have ties with shady businessmen and other claims of official corruption.
As the students blocked the entrances to the university Monday, they issued a statement insisting that the country's governance must be based on "moral values rather than personal benefits."
University administrators held an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle the blockade and the cancellation of classes it has triggered.
