FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Voloshyn described the BBC’s portrayal as “outrageous” saying his county “is one of the leaders in Europe in terms of religious and racial tolerance.”
Voloshyn’s comments came after the BBC aired a documentary as part of its Panorama program which tried to paint a violent and racist image of the Ukrainian and polish nations by showing footage of such incidents during football matches in Ukraine and Poland.
However, Voloshyn hit out at the BBC saying it is shameful for the British state broadcaster to misuse such lame proof to pretend the Euro 2012 hosts are not safe for travelers, just one week before the games begin.
“Nazi symbols can be seen at … any match in England, but does it mean that fans should not come to London for the Olympics?” he said.
This comes as UEFA’s Euro 2012 director in Ukraine Markian Lubkivsky also dismissed the BBC’s claims as irrelevant.
“From UEFA’s point of view, I see no threats for citizens of various nationalities to stay in Ukraine,” Interfax News agency quoted Lubkivsky as saying.
Meanwhile, Poland’s government body in charge of the games said the problems the BBC tried to pinpoint in the country is “specific to the whole of Europe.”
“The problem of stadium pathologies, such as xenophobia or racism, is a problem specific to the whole of Europe and not only to Poland,” said Mikolaj Piotrowski, a spokesman for the body.
“As in every European country, it affects a small minority of those present at the stadiums – unfortunately, a minority that is usually loud and visible in the media,” Piotrowski added.
