Dear colleagues from European Network of Associations of Lay Judges (ENALJ), as we work for justice delivered through the courts, more and more people decide that through violence they can impose their will.
Something terrible happened in Bulgaria last night.
By attacking our National Theater, an attempt was made by a mass of people to overthrow a theatrical production.
Actors were being pushed. Oscar-nominated animator Theodore Ushev was punched and spat on.
I expressed a position on social networks against this night of horrors and I received a shooting threat.
Misinformation and propaganda are poisoning our societies and we as lay judges, as civic conscience, must stand up as a shield.
