Solidarity with the struggle of Communists of Ukraine [En]

During the time after the armed coup in Ukraine in February 2014 the violation of the human rights and freedoms became critical, that is directly reflected in the results of the local elections that took place in Ukraine, October 25, 2015.

According to the impartial observers and experts they had not seen before such a dirty elections. Arsons of polling stations and disappearances of members of election commissions, the intimidation and bribery of voters and candidates, refusal to register undesirable candidates for the election, the persecution of Communists, depriving 1,2 million of forced migrants from the war zone in the Donbass of the opportunity to participate in the elections, destruction of ballots,, forgery and falsification, refusal to admitt as the the observer from the PACE of the representative of the Left comrade Hunko. This is only a small set of crimes committed by the ruling fascist junta and its armed militants against the citizens of Ukraine.

This situation is the result of the installment of the oligarchic neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, promotion of Nazi ideology as the state ideology, discrimination of citizens on political, ethnic, linguistic, religious grounds, forced anti-communist and militarist hysteria.

As history shows, fascism and Nazism - are the products of the capitalist system. Therefore, it is impossible to defeat fascism without destruction of the capitalist system.

The Communist Party is only political party in Ukraine, that stands for the elimination of predatory and degrading capitalist system and the source of the Nazi threat. The party, which is under threat of being banned, its members and supporters are subjected to repression, harassment and illegal prosecution.

In this regard, we are in solidarity with the struggle of Communists of Ukraine for the rights and freedoms of its citizens and against the dictatorship of oligarchs and neo-Nazis. We also affirm the need to intensify the efforts of Communist and workers' parties in all international organizations, deputies of the European Parliament and national parliaments, members of the Parliamentary Assembly in order to protect the Ukrainian Communist Party and to prevent the ban the communist ideology.
