Balgarianovinite.com Commenting on an incident involving verbal aggression between Bulgarian and Italian youths outside a hotel in the mountain resort of Bansko, Prime Minister Rumen Radev told reporters, “It is a longstanding tradition of our institutions and our society not to tolerate any manifestations of xenophobia, racism or antisemitism and to respond whenever they occur. That is exactly what we did yesterday – we reacted and condemned hate speech.” Radev is on a visit to Dobroslavtsi Air Base on Thursday, where the high-tech industrial park and space and defence R&D centre will be built.
“The Bulgarian people have consistently demonstrated throughout history their tolerance towards different ethnic communities and religions,” Radev said. He added that during World War II, Bulgaria “saved its entire Jewish community from the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps and gave Europe a moral lesson that should never be forgotten.”
