Everyone is talking about #Russia, Dont believe #propaganda TV the reason for #Crimean intervention is the revival of #fascism > a growing concern for #Europe Commenting on #Ukrainian developments, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius pooh-poohed the idea that there is a #fascist danger: When one accuses the Ukrainian government of being on the extreme right, thats false, thats false.....there are three members of the Svoboda - Ukrainian political party [in the interim Ukrainian cabinet].... which is a party further to the right than the others. This statement was criticized by the Russian Government and by elements of the French press. It is #inaccurate; there are at least six #Svoboda members in Arseny Yatsenyuks government, as well as elements from the even more extreme Правий Сектор. Far right extremists hold key positions controlling internal security, defense, the prosecutors office and economic ministries, as well as the national bank. Further, the statement by Fabius that Svoboda is more to the right than other parties seems to suggest that they are a just a wee bit conservative, but most observers see them as #NeoNazi or #fascist. That Yatsenyuk is of #Jewish origin does not negate past anti-Semitic utterances of Svoboda leaders. The fascist presence is real and is not confined to the Ukraine. It is found in many Eastern European countries, and some Western ones, including France itself. The growth of the Jobbik party in Hungary, the Slovak National Party in Slovakia Slovenská národná strana, and others in the #Balkan and #Baltic countries, is evidence. In Greece the Golden Dawn party got into parliament in spite of violence against immigrants, and the crowd that backs former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Italy is riddled with fascists. On Mar. 16 neo-Nazis marched in #Riga, #Latvia, to honor surviving Latvian Waffen SS Volunteer Legion troops who served in World War II. Anti-Nazis who wanted to enter Latvia to participate in counter demonstrations were stopped. The Latvian prime minister found it necessary to fire her environment minister, Einārs Cilinskis, of the National Party, because he marched with the SS men in defiance of her orders.
