23 August is a day of commemoration of the victims of the crimes committed by the national socialist, communist and other totalitarian regimes.
Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev who laid flowers at the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in the garden of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia said:
“The memory of the victims is not forgotten and never will be. Totalitarian regimes, whatever their ideology and their differences, had one thing in common – the craving to vanquish the human spirit, to trample freedom underfoot, to destroy all people who dared think differently. Today, when we honour the victims, we assume a responsibility to never allow these horrors to be repeated.”
The day has been marked since 2010 by a decision of the 41st National Assembly from 19 November, 2009.
