Neo-Nazi group targets Jewish youths at a hotel in Bansko
On Sunday, a group of individuals appearing to be neo-Nazis surrounded a hotel in Bansko, Bulgaria, where Jewish teenagers from Israel and Italy were staying. The youths, who had traveled from cities including Rome and Milan, were participating in an international training program for youth organization leaders when the incident occurred. Reports indicate that the perpetrators, dressed in black and displaying far-right symbols, blocked the hotel entrances and shouted Nazi slogans such as "Sieg Heil.
Video footage from the event shows the suspects performing Nazi salutes and issuing threats toward the teenagers inside the building. Although local police were called to the scene and initially dispersed the crowd, witnesses reported that the group returned shortly after the police officers departed. The perpetrators continued to obstruct access to the hotel and maintain their aggressive behavior. While authorities intervened, the persistent nature of the harassment has caused significant alarm among the participants and the public, leading to widespread concern over the safety of the international group.
