“The Poroshenko bloc has failed. You staged a bacchanalia in parliament. You’re disrupting work,” said deputy Boris Filatov, an ally of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, indignantly.
“I would really like you to stop giving ratings to everyone, forgetting about your work. There is no need to be holier than the Pope of Rome or even the Pope of Dnepropetrovsk. Our faction decided to vote in favor, but there is one catch. The faction submitted a candidacy for first deputy. And you gave me the position of secretary,” said deputy Yuriy Lutsenko, head of the Poroshenko Bloc faction, in response.
“I will not say who is holier than the Pope of Rome or the Pope of the Confectionery; I have a document personally signed by Yuriy Lutsenko, where he removed Rizanenko from the post of deputy and added Usov to the post of secretary. Find out within your faction!” – Filatov retorted.
