A Bulgarian Fascist organization formed on the lines of the Hitler storm troops has been growing in this country with an anti-Jewish and anti-foreign program.
The organization, known as The Union for Action for Progress of the Bulgarian Nation, is led by Prof. Kontardjiev, of the Agricultural Institute of Sofia.
It aims to limit the numbers of Jewish and foreign commercial enterprises in Bulgaria, to prohibit settlement of Jews and also seeks the cancellation of the Neuilly Peace Treaty in order to permit free rearmament.
The salute and the external insignia of the movement are the same as the union’s German model.
