Ethnic clashes in Bulgaria leave five injured
26 september 2011

The fighting broke out in the village of Kanunitsa 160Km south of the capital Sofia.
Tensions in Bulgaria's Plovdiv
The tensions in the Roma-populated districts in Bulgaria's Plovdiv have subsided Sunday night after a rumor has been exposed as false, according to local media.
Reports say, the tension in the Roma quarters in Plovdiv was generated by two Roma clans that are close to Rashkov by spreading the rumor that a local Roma man was murdered in downtown Plovdiv, and that activists of the nationalist party VMRO were preparing to set a local mosque on fire.

Bulgaria is racist and intolerant nation. A 19 year old man, who was killed by Roma boss was a criminal too. He had dirty dealings with Roma boss. That is why he ordered to kill him. Racist Bulgarians used this incident to justify their thirst? for Romani blood and apart from attacking Roma boss, they are also trying to attack innocent Roma, who have nothing to do with this incident. Shame on you Bulgarians. World is watching...

Racism in Europe Bulgaria
Racism in Bulgaria has been geared towards the Romani people who are perceived to be of different racial and ethnic background. However, not all Bulgarians are racist towards the Roma, and it varies with an individual's upbringing, education, area where they lived, and other factors.Bulgarian nationalists are also wary of the country's large Turkish minority because of their perceived ambitions for greater power in Bulgaria and potential separatism in areas where Turks predominantly live. The forced assimilation campaign of the late 80s and early 90s directed against ethnic Turks resulted in the permanent emigration of some 300,000 Bulgarian Turks to Turkey. During this period, Turks were forced to change their names to Slavic Bulgarian ones and Turkish culture was heavily suppressed. Muslim Bulgarians (ethnic Bulgarians practicing Islam) were also targeted as Islam was seen as a "foreign "Turkish element" that stood against Bulgarian interests. The National Union Attack or Ataka, a party widely considered fanatically xenophobic, surprisingly won 10% of the popular vote at the recent 2005 elections. A bit under 20% also voted for the far right Bulgarian political party Attack National Union for the recent European Elections.
In regards to the ethnic Macedonian minority in Bulgaria: The Bulgarian president told the Council of Ministers in Strasbourg on April 22 that there was no Macedonian minority in Bulgaria. Expressions of Macedonian culture were frequently suppressed: on May 5, police arrested fifteen ethnic Macedonians to prevent a cultural celebration. On October 9, however, the Bulgarian president signed the Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities, signaling a new commitment to uphold minority rights.
