Sofia (Reuters)-Prime Minister (PM) Bulgaria Boiko Borisov resigned on Wednesday amid increasingly rampant protests against violence tinged the expensive electricity tariffs in the country.

Rolling rallies in Bulgaria after the Government set a high electricity rates and a range of budget tightening policy.

Public budget-saving policy in Bulgaria is also done in many countries on the European Union debt crisis at the end of the post.

Most of the people of Bulgaria are very expensive with the cost of energy, objected, the electric monopoly, low living standards and corruption that occurs in most EU Member States are poor.

About 10,000 people held a rally in some areas since Sunday while shouting "Mafia" and "backwards". Most of the demonstrations ended in uproar, reported Reuters.

Prime Minister Boiko Borisov has tried to stop the protest with dismiss Finance Minister, promised to reduce the price of electricity, and also punish foreign companies. But those steps have failed to ease the disappointment.

"I'm not going to be part of the Government in which the police were beating people," said Borisov announced his resignation today, Wednesday. The Parliament itself is expected to accept the resignation of Borisov on Wednesday night.

With the parliamentary system, Borisov could form a new cabinet by using the GERB party is dominant in Parliament as a political vehicle. If he fails, then the election is scheduled to take place in July will be brought forward.

The popularity of the previous uphill GERB till the end of last year because of austerity policies conducted in Bulgaria are not extreme se-other European countries. But in the last polls, the opposition Socialists are increasingly approached by GERB.

Many citizens of Bulgaria are frustrated with the unemployment rate which reached 11.9 percent and the average income is only 550 u.s. dollars per month. The anger reached the highest point when electric bills (needed for heating) surged during the winter.

The Government raised electricity rates--is politically sensitive because of the impact on the middle class down--by 13 percent in July, but the impact of these policies is not felt until households in Bulgaria began to use electricity to heat a room during the winter.

"The resignation is the only responsible step, the step also makes political career Borisov did not stop until here," said analyst Kantcho Stoychev of Gallup International.

Borisov had previously said that permission for electricity distribution company CEZ originating from the Czech Republic will be revoked. The policy plans can make Bulgaria and Czech Republic tension rises because 70 percent of CEZ shares are State-owned.

The Czech Government earlier had only pacified by Albania, which perform actions similar to Bulgaria in the last month.

Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas said that Bulgaria highly nuanced policy plan politically and have asked for an explanation.
