* Prohibition of economic and professional activity The citizens of Jewish origin were also banned from public areas, restricted economically; the marriages between Jews were prohibited. This law suppressed all Freemasonry lodges and all another secret organizations. The Law for protection of the nation, passed under direct influence from Nazi Germany, was vigorously opposed by notable Bulgarian intellectuals, and the public opposition to the deportation of the Bulgarian Jews to Nazi extermination camps ultimately resulted in its prevention.
