Bulgaria bans annual neo-Nazi march honoring WWII general – Police block roads where Nazi-supporting Hristo Lukov lived, in order to prevent nationalists from holding ceremony in his memory | Timesofisrael

SOFIA, Bulgaria — Authorities in Bulgaria on Saturday banned an annual torch-lit march in downtown Sofia in honor of a late general who led the pro-Nazi Union of Bulgarian National Legions during World War II.
Hours before the event, the country’s chief prosecutor called on Sofia’s mayor and the interior minister “to ensure the preservation of public order and protection of the rights of the public ahead of the Lukov March.”
