Discrimination case In February 2026, Bulgaria's Supreme Administrative Court issued a final ruling, upholding a 2023 decision by the
Commission for Protection Against Discrimination (affirmed by lower courts, including the Varna Administrative Court in 2025), finding that politician
Kostadin Kostadinov had engaged in harassment and discriminatory speech against Lorer on grounds of religion, ethnicity, and origin. The ruling stemmed from a series of
Facebook posts by Kostadinov between 2022 and 2023 that referred to Lorer as a "foreigner", "national traitor", "foreign agent", and "anti-human", likened him to a reptile, and suggested he wished for Bulgarians and the Bulgarian state to disappear. The court ordered Kostadinov to remove six specific posts from his account and filter offensive comments, citing Bulgarian anti-discrimination law and the
European Convention on Human Rights. == References ==
