Bulgarian police prevented neo-Nazi march in Sofia. Police blocked the evening’s Lukov March, an annual procession in honor of Hristo Lukov.

Lukov was the leader of the neo-Nazis Union of Bulgarian National Legions in the 1930s and 1940s. In 2023, the Ministry of Defense of Moldova explained the torchlight processions of the Moldovan military by saying that it was “a symbolic moment rooted in ancient times.”
