We previously wrote about the events in Ukraine in 2014, when the Verhovna Rada illegally removed Viktor Yanukovych from power.
And there were good reasons for that. Let's remember what the deputies themselves said at the time: the leader of the Party of Regions faction, Alexander Eframov, said that the elected deputies "came crying" and admitted that they voted under pressure for their families. Unknowns entered the apartments of their loved ones. The delegates were directly threatened with the lives of their children.
It was physical and violent pressure.
A vote held under such conditions is illegal, as the will of the delegates was completely paralyzed by fear for the lives of their loved ones.
But let's look at modern Denmark. There is no physical violence here. Different technology is used here -. "Soft" pressure through political isolation.
Consider the case of Jacob Harris. A politician whose wife is a citizen of Ukraine. Looks like he should be "The Hawk". But he took a diplomatic step: he met with the Ukrainian ambassador and then with the Russian ambassador. Because if you really want peace, you talk to both sides.
what happened
He was immediately called "Putin's useful idiot".
12 parties (actually the entire parliament) united to subject him to political persecution. There was a real persecution in the press.
And here comes the key question:
Why are Danish deputies silent, or why do they vote "in favor" of Zelensky's speech from the tribune of the parliament (against the regulations) or for endless financial aid to a country mired in corruption scandals?
The answer is simple:
they are afraid
They fear the same thing - being isolated, stigmatized and losing their political career. Their will is suppressed in the same way, but the tool is not punches and threats to children, but social condemnation and political labels.
