The four-party government coalition revealed the contents of its anti-racism statement at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.

That’s not why I posted this here, though:

The government will also probe the possibility of outlawing the political use of certain symbols, including the swastika as used by Nazi Germany as well as the hammer and sickle that appeared on the former Soviet Union flag.

    Give it a few years and they’ll flip it on its head. You can’t deny such a great achievement - the Holocaust. Why would you play down our numbers? It really happened once we can do it again!

      More likely it’ll just metasticize into a full blown Red Scare, with any opposition to the government line flagging you as a criminal or terrorist.

      I’m surprised Holodomor Denial isn’t already treated with the same severity. Maybe they can lump in Islamic Extremism and start using French style burka bans to harass Muslim women for their own good.
