The Prosecutor`s Office of the Republic of Bulgaria will continue to work actively to counter radicalisation and xenophobia and to prevent anti-democratic manifestations among the public, Acting Prosecutor General, Borislav Sarafov, said during a discussion on countering anti-Semitism, as reported by press office of the Prosecutor`s Office on November 29. The topic was discussed during his meeting with the president of the World Zionist Organization, Yaakov Hagoel, and Gusty Yehoshua-Braverman, head of the Department for Organization and Relations with Israelis Abroad at the World Zionist Organization. The meeting was held at the Court House. Yaakov Hagoel and Gusty Yehoshua-Braverman are in Bulgaria at the invitation of Nikolay Galabov, Chair of the Zionist Federation in Bulgaria. On behalf of the Prosecutor`s Office, Elena Karakasheva, Deputy Prosecutor General, and Vanya Stefanova, Head of the Specialized Department at the Supreme Prosecutor`s Office, participated in the talks.
The representatives of the leadership of the World Zionist Organization highly appreciated the proactive role and consistent efforts of the Bulgarian Prosecutor`s Office in countering hate crimes. The Prosecutor General reaffirmed the institution`s commitment to zero tolerance towards manifestations of anti-Semitism, intolerance and incitement to division.
" He assured that the Prosecutor`s Office will continue to work actively to counter radicalisation and xenophobia and to prevent anti-democratic manifestations among the public. The need to criminalise all manifestations of anti-Semitism and hate speech, as well as to legally prohibit the holding of events such as " Lukovmarch ", which are incompatible with the principles of the democratic world, was discussed. The representatives of the World Zionist Organization stressed the role of the Prosecutor`s office, and specifically of Borislav Sarafov as Acting Prosecutor General, and before that as Deputy Prosecutor General, in the measures taken by the Bulgarian authorities to prevent the holding of the `Lukovmarch` in recent years, " the Prosecutor`s office said in its statement.
