“Medieval Inquisition” returns to Europe with anti-communism as a spearhead

NCPN: On the recognition of the myth of "Holodomor" as "genocide" by the Dutch House of Representatives

From the Editors of Manifest, newspaper of the New Communist Party of the Netherlands (NCPN): 

On Thursday 6 July, the Lower House adopted a motion by the coalition parties VVD, D66, CDA and Christian Union regarding the famine in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. Against all historical facts, the famine is labelled a ‘genocide’ of the Ukrainian people. The motion claims that the famine was deliberately “planned and carried out by the then Soviet regime to oppress the Ukrainian people and identity.” The purpose of this unprecedented falsification of history is nothing but to further demonise communism.
