The torch marches organized by nationalists from the Svoboda (Freedom) group in the center of the capital and other cities of Ukraine on January 1, 2014 again showed cynical attempts of young people throwing aside all restraint to hide their filthy deeds by patriotic slogans, the Party of Regions said.
“Under the guise of the European future Ukrainian nationalists are
carrying ghosts and nightmares of the past to our country. Torch
marches, worship to a leader, storming parties, destruction of
monuments, demolition of administrative and public buildings and
lynching in the streets – everything was in the history of Europe in
1920-1930s. However, it’s occurred that such historic examples inspire
the primitive opposition,” reads a report of the press service of the
Party of Regions.
The press service said that the Party of Regions hopes that
“international society won’t be indifferent to the attempts of certain
political forces to revive fascism in Ukraine and make Nazi
collaborators who swore Hitler heroes.”
“The Party of Regions asks authorities to assess the instigating and
provoking actions of radical nationalists and not allow fascism spread
in Ukraine.
The Party of Regions said that Nazism does not fit Ukraine and supporters of Nazism will be stopped.
“Those who will try to use violence will be punished under Ukrainian law,” the report said.
