"Mr President, there is good news from Bulgaria, but also alarming news. Since June’s elections, Bulgaria has had Ataka, a neo-Nazi party, in its Parliament. It obtained 8 % of the votes in June and now has 12 %. This party denies the Holocaust and, on its website, you can find discussions about how to castrate Roma and receive congratulations from the Klu Klux Klan.
Behind this promotion of racism and xenophobia are the former Communist agents who are building a shadow economy through fake privatisation and manipulations. Their strategy is to divert people’s attention from high-level corruption by raising anti-Roma, anti-Semitic and anti-minority sentiments in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria has democratic politicians who want to fight corruption and poverty, but they lack support from us in the European Union. The EU has an obligation to fix the problems in Bulgaria because it has cooperated with the wrong partners for 15 years already. How does the Commission view the recent cases of violence between Roma and Bulgarians provoked by anti-Gypsyism? Secondly, do EC grants help put a stop to racism, or do they stimulate corrupt political structures?"@en1
