Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev honoured the memory of the victims of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, the Council of Ministers said on its Facebook profile on Friday.
"Today is the European Day of Remembrance for the victims of all totalitarian and authoritarian regimes. The memory of the victims is not forgotten and never will be. Totalitarian regimes, whatever their ideology and whatever their differences, had one thing in common - their desire to subjugate the human spirit, to trample on freedom and to destroy all those who dared to think differently. Today, as we honour the victims, we take on the responsibility of preventing these horrors from happening again. We bow to the memory of the victims," Glavchev was quoted as saying in the publication.
The day of remembrance for the crimes of totalitarian regimes and commemorating their victims, 23 August, has been observed since 2010 in accordance with a decision of the 41st National Assembly, by which the Parliament endorsed a resolution on the need for international condemnation of the crimes of totalitarian communist regimes, the European Parliament's resolution on European conscience and totalitarianism, and the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on a new unity for a divided Europe.
