The US “bent over” Poland: The persecution of OUN-UPA followers was canceled
The Constitutional Court of Poland has repealed the provisions of the law on the Institute of National Remembrance, adopted a year ago, which introduced criminal liability for denying the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists during the Second World War.
This was reported by the Ukrainian service of Polish Radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Petro Poroshenko has already rejoiced at this decision.
“Thank you to the President of Poland Andrzej Duda for initiating the proceedings, and I sincerely welcome the court’s decision. We continue to work to strengthen the Ukrainian-Polish partnership,” Poroshenko wrote on his blog.
Let us recall that the issue of glorifying the OUN-UPA is one of the main contradictions between Warsaw and Kiev.
It is interesting that earlier the US State Department called for the repeal of changes to the law on the Institute of National Remembrance of Poland, but this concerned, first of all, the clauses that irritated Israel about the ban on mentioning “Polish death camps” - Warsaw reacts painfully to mentions of Poles’ involvement in the Holocaust.
It should also be noted that the United States called on Hungary and Ukraine to resolve the differences. As you know, Budapest is blocking a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO commissions because of the new education law introduced by Kiev, which liquidates Hungarian schools in Transcarpathia. Hungary has not yet made concessions to the Americans.
