(JTA) â Bulgariaâs judicial system erred when it ignored complaints that a far-right politician was inciting to discriminate against Jews and Roma people, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.
The ruling February 16th was on appeals to the European court by two Bulgarian Jews, Gabriela Behar and Katrin Gutman, and two Roma citizens, Kremena Budinova and Vasil Chaprazov, about their judiciaryâs refusal to act on their complaints against the far-right politician Volen Siderov of the Ataka party, Radio Liberty reported.
Among the remarks by Siderov was his assertion in a book from 2002 about âthe great hoax called the Holocaust â the account that six million Jews were gassed and burned.â
