Ukrainian nationalists threaten to storm parliament after leader's killing

March, 2014
Over 1,500 nationalists from the Right Sector have circled Ukrainian parliament in Kiev threatening to storm it on Thursday. They demanded the resignation of the interior minister after their leader Muzychko was killed in a police operation.
Up
to 2,000 members of the Right Sector, which recently was revamped
into a political party, flooded the square in front of Verkhovna Rada
in the Ukrainian capital on Thursday night. The radicals, who brought
car tires to burn with them, were banging on the Parliament’s
doors, smashing the glass parts in them.
Wearing masks and brandishing bats, they were shouting "Avakov, get out!"
The parliament building was empty except for guards, some administrative staff and reporters. All the MPs had earlier left the building through an underground tunnel, RIA Novosti reported.
The protesters were threatening to break into the parliament if their demands were not met, journalists reported from the scene. The Rada’s security in the meantime concentrated in front of the entrance to the building and prepared water cannons, urging the journalists inside not to approach the windows looking onto Constitution Square.
Several
hours into the standoff activists announced the rally was over for
tonight as they decided not to storm the building just yet, but
reconvene tomorrow.
On
Friday, Verkhovna Rada will hold an emergency session to discuss the
possibility of Avakov’s resignation, one of the representatives of
the Right sector told Itar-Tass. Right Sector activists have been
urged to gather outside the Parliament building at 9:00 GMT.
Although
the major part of the crowd has already dispersed, about a hundred
people are still reportedly picketing the building .
Interior
Minister Arsen Avakov is held personally responsible by the
nationalists for the death of Aleksandr Muzychko, also known as
Sashko Bilyi, one of the Right Sector leaders. Muzychko was declared
killed in a police raid against his gang in Rovno, western Ukraine,
on Tuesday.
Following
the death, Right Sector leaders threatened Avakov with revenge,
though they did not specify exactly what they would do. Dmitry Yarosh
called for the minister's dismissal.
"We’ll
wait for the negotiators from the Parliament, the MPs, but we won’t
settle for Avakov’s resignation – we want his tribunal,” the
radicals announced through megaphones.
The
radicals also blame the interior minister for not putting enough
effort into investigating investigate the deaths of protesters during
the Maidan standoff in January and February.
The
leader of the UDAR party and former boxing champ, Vitaly Klitschko,
went out to the negotiate with the Right Sector in front of the Rada.
Klitschko
tried to persuade the radicals to give up the idea of storming the
parliament building as “it will destabilize the current situation
in Ukraine. The parliament building is empty, because the deputies
have already left.”

radical militant Aleksandr Muzychko and will avenge it, Ukrainian
media reports.

'Freedom-Seeking' Nationalists Protest Government Building, Ministers
Evacuated - Live Feed
Well
that didn't take long.. the "nationalists" who freed the
country from Yanukovych's apparent corrupt government in favor of a
well-chosen US leadership, are now turning on the replacements:
- *UKRAINE NATIONALIST PRAVYI SEKTOR PROTESTS AT PARLIAMENT: TV5
- *UKRAINIAN PROTESTERS DEMAND INTERIOR MINISTER'S RESIGNATION
- *UKRAINE LAWMAKERS EVACUATED FROM PARLIAMENT BUILDING: TV5
Of
course, this is a day
after the party's leader was allegedly killed by Police,
and following lawmakers demands that citizens return any illegally
held guns. It seems reveolution is addictive...
Of
course, bear in mind that the lawmakers are still discussing whether
to vote for and approve the IMF aid package and this suggests things
are on hold for a while...
Hundreds
of the Right Sector members flood the square in front of Verkhovna
Rada in the Ukrainian capital on Thursday night. Wearing masks and
brandishing bats, they were shouting "Avakov, get out!"
Now, I look at scenes like this and it looks exactly like a bubbling cauldron of bacteria, shrieking and shouting, overflowing their petri dish.
