UKIP blasted for migrant rhetoric

Speaking on the Sky News Murnaghan programme on Sunday, Konstantin Dimitrov said material sent to voters ahead of May’s council elections, questioning the impact of Bulgarian migrants on UK jobs and social services, was “absolutely unacceptable”.

He argued that Bulgarians do not appear in the top 20 nationalities who claim from the system in the UK.

Dimitrov also blasted UKIP leader Nigel Farage for using “very feeble” arguments and “propaganda” to criticize the lifting on migrant restrictions to Britain.

When Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union (EU) in 2007, Britain and several other countries imposed restrictions on the new members’ access to their labor markets until January 2014.

Restrictions on people wanting to come to the UK are lifted from the end of the year, but far-right groups are scaremongering over a significant increase in the number of migrants.

Earlier in February, Romania’s ambassador to London Ion Jinga warned that predictions of an influx of Eastern European immigrants are putting Romanians in Britain at risk of racist attacks.
