STATEMENT
The Hungarian Trade Union Confederation / MSZSZ expresses its deep concern over the ongoing violent events in the capital of the neighbouring Ukraine. We express our condemnation that in 2014, in Europe, the peacefully started demonstration calling for democratic rights, free and peaceful expression of opinion has resulted in several dozens of dead, hundreds of injured. The wild violence does not lead to a lasting solution – this course of events bringing suffering only, must be ended immediately. In this, the authorities do have an imminent role and responsibility.
We express our solidarity with our colleagues in Ukraine, who, for a better future, want to find a rational, sustainable solution within peaceful and democratic frames, by creating social consensus.
The Hungarian Trade Union Confederation, together with the ETUC and the ITUC will help and support the workers and trade unions of Ukraine in this responsible and hard work.
Budapest, 20. 02. 2014
