SELECTIVE JUSTICE AND POLITICAL VENGEANCE: ANDERS FOG RASMUSSEN’S STATEMENT ON POROSHENKO’S CASE

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen believes the accusations against Ukraine’s fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, show signs of selective justice and political persecution.

He wrote about this on his Twitter page.

“Nobody is above the law and justice must be done. But this week’s charges against former Ukrainian President Poroshenko have a worrying tinge of the selective justice and political retribution that belong to Ukraine’s past, not its future.” Rasmussen wrote.

As known, a number of influential world politicians have warned President Zelenskyi against political persecution of Petro Poroshenko. Among them are former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, European People’s Party President Donald Tusk, former US State Department special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Roman Vashchuk, and MEP Petras Auštrevičius.

A special statement was also signed by Witold Jan WASZCZYKOWSKI, Chair of the European Parliament Delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee, Andrius KUBILIUS, Chair of the European Parliament Delegation to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly, Traian BĂSESCU, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament Delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee. The statement notes that the current government in Ukraine must adhere to the principles of the rule of law and European values, and Poroshenko’s case will be closely monitored by the European Parliament.

We will remind that “European Solidarity” declared that the fifth president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is being illegally surveilled.
