The Polish Sejm approved a bill banning the propaganda of the so-called "Bandera ideology". On Friday, January 26, the document proposed by the Kukiz'15 movement passed its third reading, reports Do Rzeczy. A package of bills that provide for changes to the law on the National Memory Institute of Poland supported the majority of members of parliament - 279 out of 414. The document was voted by all PiS deputies ("Law and Justice"), Kukiz'15 and PSL ("Polish Peasant Party"). It was also approved by several opposition deputies. It is noted that the law concerns the definition of crimes of Ukrainian nationalists and Ukrainian organizations that cooperated with the Third Reich during the Second World War and are responsible for the events in Volhynia and in Eastern Lesser Poland. The document provides for the possibility of opening criminal cases against citizens who deny the guilt of Ukrainian nationalists for crimes against Poles. For the denial of "Banderov's crimes" there is a fine or imprisonment for up to 3 years. The faction Kukiz'15, led by the famous punk rock musician Pavel Kukiz, introduced its bill more than a year ago, but for a while it was frozen. The deputies were to begin to consider it in November 2017, but at the last moment it was removed from the agenda. According to unofficial information, such steps were then taken to not bring even more tension to the relations between Kiev and Warsaw on the eve of the visit of Polish President Andrzej Duda to Ukraine. Well, for the sake of completeness, a small touch to the fate of the initiator of the bill against the bandarization in Poland Kukiz - in 2014. he actively spoke at the Ukrainian Maidan.
And now the happy Polish friend of Ukrainians writes in his Twitter:
"The Saeima just voted for our bill that prohibits the propaganda of banderism and the denial of the genocide in Volhynia, carried out by detachments of Ukrainian nationalists from OUN-UPA (banned in the Russian Federation). We did it!.
Pass on! "The paradox is that all the days on the Independence Square in Kiev Ukrainian radical activists with attributes and symbols of hunters dangled in packs. Then, probably, to the Polish friends of the coup d'etat in Ukraine it seemed that these were units and this was temporary.
