The journalist who fell under punishment of Kiev, said that he was not in Ukraine
Spanish Journalist c?sar Vidal, enabled by the Ukrainian authorities in the sanctions list, said Fins news that never was in Ukraine and is not going to go there, But understands why he found himself in the " black list ".
"I've never been to Ukraine, But I understand the fierceness of the Ukrainian nationalists against me. For several years I stated in La Razon (Spanish printed edition - ed.) and in different programs on radio and television about their falsification of history, the scandalous manipulation of information, about the elimination of freedom, their shameful past when they honour the presence of Ukrainians in terrible SS during the Holocaust and the Second world war, and the costs to support their policy of the European Union and Spain. The propaganda deployed by the Ukrainian nationalists, just can't stand to declare the truth about the history and the present, " said Vidal.
He added that he is not going to Ukraine because it is " repugnant to visit the territory, whose government claims it is democratic, and at the same time ruthlessly bombing women, children and the elderly ".
Vidal also called "false" justification of the Ukrainian authorities, in connection with which he was left in the sanctions list at the moment, as several Western correspondents, and among them 2 of the Spaniards, was expelled from it. So, the Ukrainian authorities stated that " Vidal has acted as an observer at the illegal referendum and made statements about the artificial nature of Ukraine as a country."
the writer said that was never in the referendum and was not an observer. But he added that in truth considers Ukraine an artificial state, as " in Kiev was the first Russian state in history." He also called Ukraine a "non-viable" state, where "occasional coups" and which exists " only as a way to threaten the security of Russia ".
Vidal said that the imposition of the Ukrainian language-speaking residents is contrary to the most basic human rights.
The journalist emphasized the fact that the media pay much attention to the Syrian refugees, But did not declare those Ukrainian refugees who were due to leave the Russian Federation.
Ukraine on Wednesday launched a year of punishment relative to 388 individuals and 105 legal entities, among them citizens of 23 countries, and among them a number of Russian and Western journalists. On Thursday, the Ukrainian side has made adjustments to the list, excluding a number of correspondents, among them 2 of the Spaniards Manuel ?ngel Sastre (El Pais, El Confidencial, Quatro) and Antonio Pampliega (El Pais, El Confidencial, Quatro). Both journalists in mid-July were missing in the Syrian Arab Republic. It is planned that they were captured by militants of the " Islamic country ".
However, the list remains c?sar Vidal (La Razon) and 7 Spanish Residents.
