"We support the Bulgarian authorities for their endeavors & efforts to stop the Lukov March from taking place on the streets of Sofia this year," spokesperson for Israel's Foreign Ministry, Lior Haiat, said Saturday night. "This neo-Nazi procession in honor of a person who propagated xenophobia and anti-Semitism, and by so doing instilled hatred and intolerance, has rightly been prevented."
"The actions of the Bulgarian authorities will no doubt resonate beyond its borders."
Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) added: "Anti-Semitism must be fought wherever and whenever it raises its ugly head."
