An attempt to organize a neo-Nazi march in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, was prevented by local law enforcement, the Sofia Globe reported on February 17.
According to the publication, a group of people began to gather at five in the afternoon in the center of Sofia, even though the municipality had not given permission for the evening procession.
Police in the Bulgarian capital, following orders from Mayor Vasil Terziev, did not allow the so-called “Lukov March”, an annual procession in honor of Hristo Lukov, who led the neo-Nazi Union of Bulgarian National Legions in the 1930s and 1940.
It should be noted that, despite protests from the Sofia public, Bulgarian extremists try to hold this event every year, usually accompanied by torchlight processions.
