    UMD Hails ECHR Rulings Concerning Human Rights Violations by Bulgaria

    The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) hails today’s two decisive rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg against Bulgaria in violation of Article 11 (freedom of assembly and association) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. ECHR has been one of the rare institutions that continue to shed light on Bulgaria’s human rights violations against its indigenous Macedonian minority.
    UMD condemns Bulgaria for not enforcing two treaties it has signed and ratified: the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. UMD calls upon the Council of Europe Commission for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatović, to apply pressure on Bulgaria to implement in their entirety the ECHR rulings.
    In the two rulings: Case of Vasilev and Society of the Repressed Macedonians in Bulgaria Victims of the Communist Terror v. Bulgaria (Application no. 23702/15); and Case of Macedonian Club for Ethnic Tolerance in Bulgaria and Radonov v. Bulgaria (Application no. 67197/13), the European Court of Human Rights unanimously ruled that Bulgaria violated Article 11 (freedom of assembly and association) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and that Bulgaria must pay a collective total of 16,000 euros to the applicants.

    To date, the ECHR has ruled more than a dozen times against Bulgaria for violating the human rights of the Macedonian minority, however, Bulgaria has failed to implement the judgments. The halls of power in Brussels have remained conspicuously silent over Bulgaria’s failure to remedy adverse human rights rulings, not just towards its Macedonian minority, but also Pomak, Roma, and Turkish minorities.
    Bulgaria has been denying the rights of the Macedonian minority over the past century. By tolerating Bulgaria’s continued denial of basic identity and cultural rights, the European Union is, in effect, being complicit.
    Recently, Bulgaria’s government, Bulgarian members of the European Parliament, media, and Academia have increased their rhetoric and xenophobic attacks against Macedonian history, language, and people. The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences’ recent pamphlet denying the existence of a unique Macedonian language goes against decades of fact and treatises by well-regarded linguists. Just earlier this month, Bulgarian member of the European Parliament Andrey Kovatchev attacked UMD and its member Mario Hristovski for organizing a virtual hour shedding light on Bulgaria’s revising Macedonian history on Wikipedia.

    In 2006, UMD led a coalition of Macedonian human rights organizations globally in an e-mail writing campaign where more than three million e-mails were sent to European Parliamentarians urging them to vote in favor of an amendment to the accession of Bulgaria to the European Union protocol calling “on the Bulgarian authorities to prevent any further obstruction to the registration of the political party of the ethnic Macedonians (OMO-Ilinden PIRIN) and to put an end to all forms of discrimination and harassment vis-ŕ-vis that minority.” The Bulgarian government fiercely lobbied against the amendment, which resulted in a rejection vote 303–141.

    Joint declaration calls on the Bulgarian Government to recognise Macedonian minority rights

    May 15, 2020

    EFAEFA member party OMO “Ilinden” – PIRIN, together with a group of organisations representing the Macedonian minority in the Republic of Bulgaria, have written a joint declaration to strongly condemn the latest provocations perpetrated by the Bulgarian Government, which operate against the opening of the European integration negotiations of the Republic of Macedonia.
    The signatories of the declaration call for the recognition of the Macedonian minority rights and the rights to its citizens to self-determination. It is also claimed the cease of the government’s anti-Macedonian policies and its declarations denying the existence of the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria.

    The Republic of Bulgaria has a duty to respect and to recognise the existence of the Macedonian minority as a reality in the country and as a matter of human rights. It also must fulfil its obligations as member of the international community in terms of implementing the treaties for minority rights in compliance with the international law, the human rights and the values of the European Union.

    "On 26 September 2014 the Blagoevgrad Regional Court refused to register the applicant association (see реш. № 4022 от 26.09.2014 г. по ф. д. № 44/2014 г., БОС). It found that the association’s goals, as formulated in its articles, suggested that it would be directed against the unity of the nation. In particular, the association had stated that it would strive to preserve and popularise the Macedonian cultural and historical heritage; to “preserve, develop and pass on to future generations the historical truth about the Macedonian question and the work for its resolution”; to restore and build monuments relating to the Macedonian past and heritage; to work to protect the rights of Macedonians; to organise lectures, talks and conferences about the past and present problems faced by the Macedonian people; to organise regional Macedonian gatherings, the commemoration of historical dates and events; to gather memoirs and historical and archive materials relating to the history of the Macedonians; to ensure the recording, preservation and popularisation of the Macedonian folkloric heritage; and so on."

    Bulgaria has chosen to be enemies with the Macedonians by threatening vetoes. Reap what you sow Mongols!

    Wonder where were those "minorities" before? Why my village that is 12 km away from the border with Macedonia doesn't have any of these "minorities"? Believe me or not, I remember my grandmother saying "We are all Bulgarians" about the people living in the village and the ones who were on the other side of the border. I've never heard in my entire life of Macedonian minorities being oppressed on Bulgarian territory. I've never heard of any Macedonian minorities existing on our territory. Guess the current situation with the European Union court and a certain amount of money can create some people that can be compared only with Поп Кръстьо.

    Here is what Ivan Vazov writes about Levski and the betrayal of that "holy man" :

    https://chitanka.info/text/3849-levski

    "Той биде предаден, и от един поп!
    Тоя мръсен червяк, тоя низък роб,
    тоз позор за Бога, туй пятно на храма
    Дякона погуби чрез черна измама!
    Тоз човек безстиден със ниско чело,
    пратен на земята не се знай защо,
    тоз издайник грозен и божий служител,
    който тая титла без срам бе похитил,
    на кого устата, пълни с яд и злост,
    изрекоха подло: „Фанете тогоз!“
    На кого ръката не благословия,
    а издайство сърши, и гръм не строши я,
    и чието име не ще спомена
    от страх мойта песен да не оскверна,
    и кого родила една майка луда,
    който равен в адът има само Юда
    фърли в плач и жалост цял народ тогаз!
    И тоз човек йоще живей между нас!"

    Another sentence. A few weeks ago, Karakachanov told the Shtip media TV star that the services in Bulgaria have specific data on the financing of these organizations from Skopje. The European Court is not the EU, ie. it is not a political body. It is high time for the Bulgarian Parliament to issue a special declaration condemning the forced Macedonianization in Bulgaria after the WWII and a separate or in the same declaration to condemn the de-Bulgarianization by the Yugoslav Communist Party in Vardar Macedonia! It is clear to everyone why they took Bulgarian passports in Northern Macedonia, but the fact that in order to get it you present documents of origin, but this gives the right to the state of Bulgaria to require the state of Northern Macedonia.
    on the basis of the issued Bulgarian passports to request the Bulgarian ethnic group to be officially recognized in Northern Macedonia. The Bulgarians to be included in the northern Macedonian constitution as one of the great ethnic groups that form today's people of the Republic of Northern Macedonia - this is allowed by their constitution. And also to create a reciprocal company like the one they want to create in the Pirin region. If there are obstacles on the Macedonian side, it should be tried in the European Court of Human Rights
    The Macedonian language was Greek. The language that is official in the Republic of Northern Macedonia is a regional norm of the Bulgarian language.
    I wonder what language and culture the Greek Macedonian language will spread? Because there are no and never have been northern Macedonians in Bulgaria.
    There was the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1944-1991
    There was the Republic of Macedonia 1991-2018
    And we have only had the Republic of Northern Macedonia for two years.
    What kind of northern Macedonian ethnic group are you looking for in Bulgaria ???? !!!!
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.

    Just because he is ex-communist agent doesn't mean that everything he says is false. I don't support or trust him, but in this case it's too obvious. There is no repressed Macedonian minority in Bulgaria. As I said one of my parents' bloodline is from a village that is so close to the Macedonian border that you can reach it with a bike. There were no old people there who supported the "Macedonian idea". All of them had typical Bulgarian names, spoke Bulgarian and there were some whose families emigrated from Greek/Serbian territory or had Greek/Serbian relatives. There were no stories of "Bulgarian terror". The Bulgarian soldiers were portrayed by them in a very different image than the propaganda you consume daily. There wasn't even a mention of an ethnic Macedonian minority. All that Macedonia meant to them was the region they live in, the dialect they spoke and the music and the folk clothing of that region.

    If we are talking about corruption, our country is ran by oligarchs, ex-communists, their relatives and a literal mafia boss is our Prime Minister, yet Macedonia is more corrupt by international data - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrup...orth_Macedonia
    "Transparency International's 2017 Corruption Perception Index ranks the country 107th place out of 180 countries.[2]"

    In the same index our corruption ridden country is on 74th place. Do you still think that there is no way that the Macedonian government could pay for this? In the article you posted I saw around 20 old dudes with Macedonia t-shirts. Do you think that some old people in a country with a minimum pension of a little bit more than 100 euro can't be bribed? All Bulgarians are guilty of this, of course. We couldn't make a significant political change and our old people don't have enough money for their basic needs. The Bulgarian country forgets it's old people and in return some may sell themselves to foreign interests. On the other hand, these old dudes may just be some Macedonians who got Bulgarian citizenship in the past and now are looking for an easy buck. Both possibilities are morally dirty, but reality isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
