Countries have a hard time dealing with history if it is a record of bad and negative actions

Shapiro: Countries have a hard time dealing with history if it is a record of bad and negative actions

"Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Monday outlining several demands by official Sofia to lift the blockade on starting Macedonia's EU accession talks. One of those demands is the identification of public inscriptions on World War II memorial plaques or monuments "that incite hatred towards Bulgaria and the Bulgarian people and their removal", according to a statement from the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry."

That is, inscriptions which point out that Bulgaria was a fascist/Nazi ally state ... but facts are facts and history cannot be forgotten. Is the EU going to support this kind of policy, to delete fascist past?
