"So, what happened in the beginning of March in Los Angeles murder of police of new African-American - unarmed and mentally ill - indicates serious problems in relation to racial discrimination in the United States. In a number of EU countries for 20 years, thousands of people deprived of their citizenship and, therefore, the major civil rights only on the basis of ethnic origin. Certain political forces, the most important in Europe, in favor of scopoletin interests are trying to revive hateful ideology ", - the document says.
In the European Union continue not to notice Waffen SS legionaries in Riga, the March of neo-Nazis in Lithuania and Estonia, desecration of monuments and graves of Soviet soldiers-fighters against Nazism. However, ignoring such " dangerous tendencies of neo-Nazism, the acquiescence of its spread is fraught with the growth of radical extremist movements on the European continent and beyond ".
One example of this is the events in Ukraine, where the Nazi accomplices are declared heroes, and the day of creation of the Ukrainian insurgent army, which had openly collaborated with the Nazis and committed the worst lawlessness in the war, declared a national holiday.
"Today in Ukraine neo-Nazism becomes in fact the main state ideology, and the indulgence of this trend will be able to lead to serious consequences," the document says.
