What is “Proshenko-style” democracy?

Protesters clashing against polices in Maidan Square
Taking
the Westen democracy values as guidelines for the Orange Revolution, Kiev’s
government is now having serious mistakes when banning all communist parties to
take part in processes of election, politics competition, while making friends
with extreme nationalists.
Justice
Minister of Ukraine, Pavel Petrenke, has signed a decree banning all communist
parties to participate in the national election in October.
Under
the decree, three communist parties includes the Ukrainian Communist, the
Communist (reformed) and the communist party of Ukrainian worker and famer
class are political objects and not allowed to participate in process of the
national election.
Petrenko
said the ban is suitable with the (controvesial) anti-communist law which was
signed in May by the President Petro Poroshenko. The “anti-communist” decree
bans all of the national regimes of socialism and propagandizing socialist
symbols, the victory symbols of the World War II and Soviet period to ease
entirely communist thought in this country.
Communist
leaders have condemned the new decree of the Kiev, saying this is a serious
violation of democracy, values and the European attitude. The Ministry of
Foreign Affair of Russia also expressed the deeply concern when the Kiev
government passing the decree that restricts “freedom of thoughts, conscience
and viewpoints of the people”.
Pyout
Simonenko, a communist leader, announced his party would join in the election
despite the ban of the government.
The
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) also announced
there is “threat” to freedom of speech in the new anti-communist decree of the
Kiev governmet.
Kiev
is trying to prevent communist parties to take part in politics that is
considered an important political force in Ukraine and represents for the voice
of a big part of Ukrainian. Yet Kiev also is stuck in relationship with the
far-right Group which founded in 2013 and has gathered extreme nationalists.
The
armed teams of the far-right Group have been alleged to have killed citizens in
battles with separatist forces in the East of Ukraina, putting the notorious
blame for Kiev. They are also the most dangerous threat to the Government of
President Poroshenko.
Mr.
Poroshenko cannot believe that his far-right fellows, who had been with him in
the wave of Maidan protest against former President Yanukovych, are now
gathering people to protest his government. On July 27, the far-right Group
called on a referendum to convict Poroshenko, the Ukraine Government and
Parliament of doing nothing different from the government the government of the
ousted President Yanukovych, excepting the name.
So
it’s high time for us to ask the question that “what’ra the democratic values
which Mr. Poroshenko are chasing?”.

Ukraine is in its bad days with clashes and losses.
Peace and stability of Ukrainian are already gone with the Orange Revolution of Poroshenko and his fellows.
The democracy is always used to spread war and pain in former-Soviet countries like Ukraine,
Ukraine is separated and bleeding due to the European dream that would never come to this country.
There isn't democratic to ban communist forces in Ukraine to join the politics
The so-called nationalists are killing innocent people in the battles with the rebel forces in the East of Ukraine.
banning the opposite political forces and killing innocent people... is this the "Proshenko-style" democracy?
Proshenko is now receiving the bad sequences due to his policies against the former President Yanukovic
With the support from Russian, the East of Ukraine is strong enough to fight against forces of Kiev. They are protecting the true values of Ukraine that is close to Russia.
The true democracy is something that bring happiness and harmony for everyone not war and pains. Firstly, Kiev need a democratic Government.
