Ukraine: Protests against Human Rights Violations of PSPU
On April 26, the leaders of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine (PSPU), Natalia Vitrenko and Vladimir Marchenko, were attacked by several self-styled Nazi thugs and doused with kefir. The two opposition figures were leaving a courtroom in Kiev, after the judge had dismissed their suit against the police for standing by when a gang of former members of the fascist Azov Brigade had attacked and defaced their apartments one year ago, on May 9, 2017 (cf. SAS 20/17).
Just one day before, the PSPU had released a statement protesting the Kiev authorities’ refusal to recognize the PSPU as a legitimate party authorized to take part in the electoral process, and their overall political repression of the opposition, which is reflected in the incident reported above. The statement concludes: "The PSPU Central Committee believes that, instead of democracy, a Nazi dictatorship is being established in Ukraine, which is incompatible with the concepts of democracy and democratic elections."
The European Union has generally turned a blind eye to the fascist/neo-nazi machinations in Ukraine, in spite of many protests. Nonetheless, on April 24, the EU Commission Vice President and High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Federica Mogherini replied to a query made last Feb. 20 by Marco Zanni, a member of the European Parliament, as to whether she considers the case of the PSPU to be "a serious violation of freedom of thought and political expression."
While noting that she cannot speak about an ongoing judicial procedure, Mogherini answered that she is aware of the case and that Ukraine is expected to comply with democratic rules, including those on chartering and activities of political parties.
In the United States Congress, there has been much more outrage, but still very insufficient, about Washington’s support for Kiev. Thus, on April 25, 56 members of the House of Representatives issued a letter to then acting Secretary of State John Sullivan calling for the U.S. to condemn the Ukrainian government’s open support for Nazi gangs, and detailing that support in several cases.
The bipartisan Congressional letter, initiated by Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna of California and David Cicilline of Rhode Island, denounced both the Ukraine and the Polish governments for passing laws defending Nazis and Nazi supporters in World War II, but focused on the continuing fascist acts backed by Kiev. They report that Ukraine’s 2015 memory laws glorify "Nazi collaborators, and make it a criminal offense to deny their heroism».
