SCOTTISH politicians gave a round of applause to the founder of a Ukrainian neonazi party today, prompting calls for a review of parliamentary vetting processes.
Andriy Parubiy, who co-founded the neonazi Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) in 1991, was welcomed to Holyrood in his role as chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament.
The SNPU, which disbanded in 2014 and effectively became the Svoboda party, restricted membership to ethnic Ukrainians and had a Waffen SS-style Wolfsangel logo.
