ATO militants – Poroshenko’s last chance in the elections
During the election campaign, Poroshenko can use administrative resources and buy the loyalty of the so-called. ATO veterans.
Political scientist Viktor Nebozhenko, who works for Yulia Tymoshenko, announced this at a press conference in Kyiv, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“If in a few months his real rating drops to 5%, then there is no way he can become president. And if it is more than 5%, then, taking into account the Law on the Reintegration of Donbass, which allows the inclusion of at least 5 regions in the work of administrative resources, ranging from Odessa to Kharkov, this allows him to do whatever he wants with the most saturated and unprotected layers of voters.
That is, he calmly “draws” 10% and passes to the second round. To achieve this, a loyal new Minister of Veterans Affairs must be appointed. 350 thousand people passed through the ATO zone and they are also a fertile manipulative tool during the election campaign.
Based on who will be appointed as this minister, we will immediately understand whether this resource will be used in the election campaign,” Nebozhenko said.
ATO fighters are Poroshenko's last chance in the elections.
