Ukraine’s Elections: Stabilization Through Eradication

Links Ukraine’s Elections: Stabilization Through Eradication November 1, 2014 ( Ulson Gunnar – NEO ) – Curiously, Didier Burkhalter, Swiss Foreign Minister and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Chairperson-in-Office,  congratulated Ukrainians for their elections  of the parliamentary assembly and hailed them as another important step toward "stabilization." It is a curious statement considering the nature of the elections themselves, carried out under the duress of deadly internal conflict, with multiple regions of the country not even participating in the elections and the intimidation and barring of opposition parties from participating in campaigning and polling. Despite claims of Ukraine’s elections leading to "stabilization," instead it appears they are leading to the rise in prominence of ultra-right Neo-Nazi parties like Svoboda whose supporters are pictured above.
