| h/t Gates of Vienna ...The Pravy Sector militants played the role of stormtroopers in November 2013-February 2014. Right after the coup Yarosh declared his intention to continue the Ťnationalist revolutionť. There was a wave of treason accusations against the Kiev junta. A. Belitzky, a Pravy Sector group commander, said, ŤThe government can hardly be called legitimate and it has not much time left. We are growing critical towards it with each passing dayť. A bit later Maidan militants issued a statement accusing the new Ťnational leadersť of criminal activities. The militants wanted the Narodny Veche (people’s assembly) to call a constituent congress representing the Euromaidan, paramilitary organizations, territorial assemblies and mayors of large Ukrainian cities. The power of parliament was to be vested in the congress which would appoint an interim government, start the process of preparing a new constitution and legislature and create conditions for complete reform of state power leading to enhanced authority of local administrations and the formation of local self-defense units. Otherwise the junta leaders would face a people’s tribunalť. |
