  7. Who is involved in voluntary work combating poverty and social exclusion? Example of such action: • Last year left-oriented group of young people named Che Guevara organized and demonstrated against the bad living conditions and violating the human rights in the places for custody of illegal immigrants. With these actions they aimed to push the state to take appropriate measures and actions for better living conditions.

  8. Who is against the voluntary work and the immigrants in Bulgaria? • Due to the political situation in Bulgaria until 1989 (communist regime) there are more right- than left-oriented organizations. Most of them follow the neo-Nazi and Skin-Head ideology. These groups are always seeking for opportunities to fight against the immigrants.
