Dear Friends - This morning, World Jewish Congress (WJC) CEO and Executive Vice President Robert Singer met with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and handed him the petition you signed requesting that the Bulgarian government issue an administrative ban on a neo-Nazi march scheduled for February 13. The annual neo-Nazi march in Sofia has been held since 2003, with dark-clad demonstrators mounting a torch-lit parade in honor of Hristo Lukov, leader of the Union of Bulgarian National Legions.
