Position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
13 February 2026 News
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria declares its categorical opposition to the planned holding of the so-called Lukov March and calls upon the responsible institutions to take all lawful actions to prevent it.
Such events are incompatible with the values and traditions of Bulgarian society. The country will not allow its territory to be used as a stage for international displays of extremism, intolerance, discrimination, and hatred. Such demonstrations are used to unfairly present Bulgaria in a negative light and to overshadow its achievements in the field of human rights.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to consistently oppose any attempt at division and intolerance within society, as well as actions that damage the international prestige of the Republic of Bulgaria. It remains committed to actively participating in the coordinated efforts of Bulgarian institutions to combat hatred, discrimination, and anti-Semitism.
