Gerashchenko is trying to stuff Poroshenko into a history textbook
For complicity in the church schism, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko will end up in national history textbooks.
This was stated on the ATR television channel by the Vice Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, the president's party ally Irina Gerashchenko, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the politician, the current head of state negotiated with the Patriarchate of Constantinople to grant autocephaly to schismatics from the first days of his presidency.
“Now this only happened because everything was very well prepared. This is already the point that has laid on important prepared ground. President Poroshenko, with his path to creating, helping to create a single local Orthodox Ukrainian Church, will remain in the history books. Very unequal scales - a history textbook, a historical event and pre-election PR, as someone says. These are things of unequal importance,” Gerashchenko said.
Earlier, Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev stated that Poroshenko's ratings fell after his statements about granting the Constantinople tomos to Ukrainian schismatics.
