The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia denounces the decision to ban the CPU and expresses solidarity with the communists of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Government without any legal basis took a decision about liquidation the deputy faction of communist MPs in Parliament of Ukraine. It contradicts not only Ukrainian law, but also the base principles of parliamentarism, freedom and democracy. We would like to remind you that the last time such a decision was promoted was in the 1930s in Nazi Germany. The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia condemns the attacks on the offices and homes of members of the Communist Party of Ukraine and violence against individuals.
We ask communists and all progressive peoples around the world to reply to call of the tens of thousand of Ukrainian communists to defend a right of existence, as one which has a real influence in Ukrainian society yet suffers at the hands of the lawless pro-fascist and ultra-right Ukrainian Government.
We call on you to assist with the maximum possible solidarity in these difficult times for Ukraine and for Communist party of Ukraine.
The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia gives its support to the Communist Party of Ukraine in its resistance to fascism, predatory capitalism and imperialism.
