SDP BiH: Judiciary must prosecute Milorad Dodik for hate speech against Muslims

(Patria) - The Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina calls on the judicial bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina to prosecute former high-ranking official Milorad Dodik for hate speech directed against Muslims as the most numerous religious community in our country.

"His lies told in the USA are not just historical revisionism, they are dangerous hate speech and racism, which his statements are full of. Lies about Muslims being enemies of Jews, followers of fascism, and organizers of concentration camps are a disgrace to all those who support, host, or follow Dodik. The Haggadah was preserved in Sarajevo as a treasure by citizens of all faiths, predominantly Muslims.

No matter how much Dodik and his like-minded people try to change facts, the truth is undeniable: fascists were and remain Chetniks, his favorites. The truth is that there were citizens from all nations in the fascist ranks, which is a disgrace to all of them. But a man who openly supports the German neo-fascist party AfD and supports their candidates cannot talk about others as fascists or haters of Jews. The truth is also that there were members of all nations in the Partisans, including Bosnian Serbs, and together they defended, built, and advocated for their Bosnia and Herzegovina as a republic of equal rights.

At the sessions of ZAVNOBiH and AVNOJ, they established that Bosnia and Herzegovina does not belong to anyone in particular, but to everyone together. This is a fact that Dodik and the Chetnik ideology, advocated by domestic traitors and fascist servants from then until today, cannot reconcile with. Dodik boycotts holidays based on the anti-fascist heritage of Bosnian-Herzegovinian statehood and tries to devalue their significance.

A fascist who justifies crimes, genocide, and conceals and minimizes the killing of thousands of Muslims in the camps of his role models Mladić and Karadžić, while inventing some Muslim camps, must be prosecuted for these atrocities and the spread of hatred.

With such statements, Dodik declares himself the most consistent follower of the fascist ideology of racial dominance and the alleged evil nature of "others," for which he deserves only social isolation and judicial condemnation.

In the end, Dodik, as a fascist in the making, has already experienced defeat from anti-fascists, just like his Chetnik idols, it just obviously takes him time to accept both truths," stated the SDP BiH.
