The reaction of the Bulgarian Jews has been triggered by Monday evenings throwing of several Molotov cocktails at the Synagogue in the Black Sea city of Burgas.
"Shalom" also lists examples of other vandalism, the broken commemorative plaque in the southern city of Blagoevgrad and the arson attempt at the Jewish Community Building in Burgas.
"We are convinced that the vandals and the arsonists are not representatives of the Bulgarian people, but they taint their good name before the international community," "Shalom" states.

The declaration, which was sent to media, further voices indignation over the social indifference regarding naming a Sofia street as "Bogdan Filov."

What is the problem ? The previous article says that they tried to burn down a social service center in Yerushalayim. If it is Ok in EY then OK in Bulgaria.

This should be studied and examined in detail. During WW II King Boris of Bulgaria saved all the Bulgarian Jews and refused to cooperate with the Nazis.
