Croacia: actos en honor de ministros del antiguo régimen fascista (Ustascha) - Adhesión a la UE
PREGUNTA ESCRITA E-1955/04 de Tobias Pflüger (GUE/NGL) a la Comisión (1 septiembre 2004)
¿Cómo valora la Comisión los homenajes celebrados en Croacia en honor de ministros del antiguo régimen fascista de la Ustascha, teniendo en cuenta la solicitud de adhesión a la UE presentada por Croacia?
Según informa la prensa (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung de 28 de agosto de 2004), el Gobierno croata no ha hecho nada para impedir el proyecto de instalación de una placa conmemorativa en honor de Milan Budak. Budak fue durante la Primera Guerra Mundial Ministro de Educación, Religión y Asuntos Exteriores del "Estado independiente de Croacia", un Estado de cariz fascista dependiente de la Alemania nacionalsocialista, y uno de los promotores de las leyes racistas del régimen de la Ustascha, que prepararon el camino a la aniquilación de los judíos en Yugoslavia.
Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the commission (14.10.2004)
On 21 August 2004 a granite memorial plaque dedicated to Mile Budak (ex NDH (Nezavisna Drzava Hrvatska) official during the Second World War), was set into the wall in the village of Sveti Rok (Dalmatian hinterland). The Government of Croatia expressed its displeasure over the appearance of the memorial. It stated that local authorities were in charge of its removal. Since the Municipality failed to do so, the Government, at its extraordinary session of 26 August 2004, decided to remove the monument, as well as the one dedicated to another NDH official, Jure Francetic, which was erected in 2000 in his home town Slunj. It explained that the fascist memorials harm Croatia's reputation and are detrimental to the country’s interest. On 27 August 2004, special police forces removed both memorials in Sveti Rok and in Slunj.
In addition, the Government is planning to present to the Parliament a draft law on Monuments and amendments to the Criminal Code which would ban the glorification and promotion of totalitarian regimes. The Croatian Government therefore appear determined to continue with its pro-European policy, clearly distancing itself from the fascist Ustasha movement of World War II.
