President Radev: Under public pressure, justice finally reacts to the barbaric act in Stara Zagora

The banalisation of fascist theses and acts in recent months is worrying. You see the forums are overflowing with aggression. Lists of unreliable journalists are being drawn up, intellectuals are calling for control and censorship of the media, President Rumen Radev told journalists on July 31.

In his words, at the same time the memory of anti-fascism is being erased.

"Bulgarians snitch on Bulgarians. On the website Myrotvorets ("Peacekeeper") and the government does not react. Various revisionist and anti-Semitic texts are circulating. This is an offensive against freedom and democracy, and our society must be vigilant," he added.

Various revisionist and anti-Semitic texts are being circulated. This is an offensive against freedom and democracy, and our society must be vigilant, just as under public pressure the law enforcement authorities finally reacted adequately to the unacceptable barbaric act in Stara Zagora (referring to the case of the girl in Stara Zagora who was a victim of violence). And I think that our society should continue its public pressure," President Radev stressed.

According to him, it is not a sign of good taste to justify the ridiculous changes in the Constitution precisely with this malicious act in Stara Zagora.

"Changes are needed in various laws to do just that - to set clear criteria for violations of the law, clear criteria for crimes and for the severity of punishments," the President added.

He believes the draft constitutional amendments are part of the offensive against democracy.
