i had to use a quote from a poster on that site. It summed up best about this article from yahoo.

People in Bulgaria are not protesting because of high electricity prices! We are protesting because last month's bills from the 3 foreign owned electricity companies were 2-3 times more than they should have been. This has nothing to do with austerity cuts OR the price of electricity. This would not have come to this if the 3 foreign owned electricity companies would have simply corrected the bills instead of blaming the increase on the holidays - which is a blatant lie. For those reading around the world, please do not believe these false media reports and simply Google news reports in Bulgarian, and utilize google translate, from when this happened weeks ago. You can then read what the protest are really about and why people are upset".
