European Free Alliance Issues Declaration Demanding Bulgarian Apology for Macedonian Minority
The European Free Alliance (EFA) adopted a unanimous declaration at its annual meeting, calling for a formal apology from Bulgaria regarding historical injustices against the Macedonian minority. The declaration specifically addresses crimes committed against Macedonians during the period of communist rule in Bulgaria. A key element of the declaration involves initiating investigations into fourteen cases currently before the European Court of Human Rights.
These cases concern the Bulgarian government’s handling of the right to registration for Macedonian organizations operating within the country. The EFA asserts that the situation concerning human rights for Macedonians in Bulgaria is a serious matter requiring attention. The organization emphasizes the EU’s responsibility to uphold its legal obligations as a state regarding human rights protections.
The declaration represents a significant step in ongoing dialogue surrounding the treatment of the Macedonian minority within Bulgaria. The EFA intends to continue advocating for justice and accountability concerning all actions taken against the macedonian population during that era. The focus remains on ensuring the rights of the bugaria Macedonian community.
