Nazi Party banned in Bulgaria

The Eastern European sovereignty of Bulgaria has been rocky in the past few years. It was only three years ago that Tsar Boris was able to end the military regime in his Tsardom.

After Anschluss last month, many European nations have made note. Bulgaria has also followed in this trend. However, it took a different approach. The National Socialist Party has been banned in Bulgaria today.

Plebiscite in Austria

The scheduled Plebiscite has come and gone. Legal voters approved of the Anschluss at 99.7%. 12,000 Voters voted against the Anschluss.

4% of the population are Gypsies and Jews. They were recently disenfranchised. When Austria united with Germany, many of the Nuremberg laws that were passed in 1935 have gone into affect in Austria.
