Viachorka: Maydan put to shame politicians calling to cooperate with dictators

You cannot solve geopolitical problems, having rejected values.

A politician, co-chairman of the organizational committee for creation of the party Belarusian Movement Vincuk Viachorka shared the opinion as he commented on the events in Ukraine, Radio Svaboda reports.

“Neither Yanukovich, nor his team, nor the united Europe did take into account the main factor – the people of Ukraine. The Eastern Partnership, an excellent and even a bit belated initiative in itself, in practice ended up being targeted at the state authorities of the post-Soviet counrties. As opposed to be aimed at the society, the people. It should be corrected.

It does not make sense to discuss whether each of the EuroMaydan’s participants comprehends the specific difficulties of the transition to European hardworking life, western economic and legal standards. The main thing is that Ukrainians have felt that they are being dragged into the Soviet past and Russian neo-imperial domain.

They say: Yanukovich was promised to be paid too little, Putin offered more. But such way of thinking is faulty. There is no place for a bargain here. Any financial resources get embezzled without democracy and get spent on law enforcers.

It is impossible to pull knowingly non-European rulers, like Lukashenka or Yanukovich (although he is more cunning), into the European civilization domain. On the other hand these rulers perfectly fit into another domain – post-Soviet and imperial in the East. It should not be that Europe paid for Yanukovich’s better conditions or long term of being pulled into Russia’s orbit. The same goes for Lukashenka. The Mayday put shame in the politicians-analysts, who called for engaging the post-Soviet dictators. You cannot solve geopolitical problems, having rejected values. Only free people are the guarantee for independence”, - Vincuk Viachorka claimed.

We would remind that protests have been going on for over a week in Kiev against the disruption of the EU deal. About half a million Ukrainians have gathered in Independence Square today.
