Fadlun, we firmly condemn the despicable antisemitic provocation
“Our children are not free to travel in Europe without being exposed to violence and verbal aggression from antisemites. A video documents the despicable provocation, the Nazi salutes, and the shouts of “Sieg Heil!” by a group of Nazi skinheads wearing black t-shirts with skulls, who tried to force the entrance of a hotel where dozens of teenagers from the Jewish Community of Rome were also staying. There were long minutes of tension, also because after the police intervention the skinheads returned and blocked the entrances again, threatening and shouting at our kids. The Jewish Community of Rome firmly condemns this latest episode of antisemitism, which targets Italian Jewish teenagers and their educators, in a European Union country. We ask the Bulgarian authorities to shed light on this aggression and to identify and prosecute those responsible as soon as possible.” Thus Victor Fadlun, President of the Jewish Community of Rome.
