Faig meves les paraules dels meus companys de Grup Rebecca Harms i Werner Schulz en relació al procés obert a Yulia Tymoshenko, antiga primera Ministra d’Ucraïna:
Ukraine – Tymoshenko trial
Politically-motivated ruling a blow for EU-Ukraine
rapprochement
Commenting on the ruling against former Ukranian
prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Greens/EFA co-president Rebecca Harms
and Green MEP Werner Schulz said:
“This politically-motivated ruling is a backwards
step for the rule of law in the Ukraine and a blow to EU-Ukraine rapprochement.
Nobody should be under any illusions that this court case was designed to
scupper the prospects of the political opposition in the Ukraine ahead of next
year’s parliamentary elections. Even if the ruling is subsequently overturned,
this episode has damaged the credibility of the Ukrainian government.
“While the Greens are in favour of concluding an
EU-Ukraine association agreement, guaranteeing the rule of law and making
democratic progress is a precondition for this. Today’s ruling is clearly a
blow to this end.”
