M. Cazzulani: Democratic regress under Yanukovych regime not enough covered

On January 8, 2016 in Milan's Garibaldi road  M. Cazzulani, analyst of the Centre for Global Studies Strategy XXI, held presentation of his book "Ukraine, gas and handcuffs. The trial of Yulia Tymoshenko". The event was intended by the head of FutureDem Lombardy Alessio Alberti and the President of the "Italy Ukraine Maidan" European Association Fabio Prevedello.

Mr. Cazzulani criticized the insufficient attention Italian media and political analysts paid to the democratic regress in Ukraine under the regime of Viktor Yanukovych: "Today, Italian media are right to be concerned regarding the behavior of Mr. Orban in Hungary and Mr. Kaczyński in Poland. However, they failed to cover and did not criticize in an proper way the democratic regress under the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine from 2010 to 2014, when dozens of dissidents, as Yulia Tymoshenko, Yuri Lutsenko and many others, were jailed and deprived of their civil rights. Thought already not from the political point of view, Ukraine is a part of Europe along with Poland, Hungary and other member states of the European Union as France, where a growing support to far right parties tied to Putin's Russia is a serious threat for Europe" .
