This is Nayem’s statement made on his page on the social network, commenting on the massive riots in Kyiv that accompanied the voting for the changes proposed by Petro Poroshenko to the Constitution of the country.
“A grenade under parliament is terrorism. Any political force whose involvement in these events is proven must disappear from the political map of the country. And its leader must bear personal responsibility for the wounded and injured,” he wrote.
Nayem also called the use of force against his political opponents “ugly.”
“I did not vote for changes to the Constitution, and no one stopped me from having my own position. It was my right and I didn’t have to shoot someone or throw a grenade to do it.
You can disagree with someone, speak out, publicly debate, and even make yourself look like clowns with a pipe on the podium - this is the right of every politician. But not allowing others to speak out and, even more so, using force against them, endangering the lives of innocent citizens, is monstrosity. Awareness of this is what distinguishes a politician from a terrorist, just as the ability to speak and think (and not bite one’s throat) distinguishes a person from an animal,” said the Maidan shooter.
Let us recall that Mustafa Nayem was one of those who let the genie of violence out of the bottle and incited a lot of people in Kiev to illegal actions on the Maidan, which resulted in mass riots, seizures and storming of administrative buildings, street battles on Grushevsky and Bankova with throwing Molotov cocktails ” to the police and, ultimately, to the final massacre in the central square of the Ukrainian capital. Then Mustafa Nayem did not say anything about the inadmissibility of violent actions in the political struggle.
