In the footsteps of Poroshenko: Zelensky subordinates mayors to criminal cases
The central government of Ukraine is trying to strengthen its position before local elections, which explains the pressure on mayors in the form of criminal cases.
Lawyer Elena Lukash stated this on the air of the 112 Ukraine TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Petro Alekseevich Poroshenko’s sad tradition of putting pressure on mayors. We have a criminal case not only against Trukhanov. And Kernes? Do other mayors, including those in the Kyiv region, remember these high-profile cases?
For some reason, this sad tradition has now become the tradition of the authorities’ behavior under Zelensky. I am sure that the pressure on mayors is due to the need to reduce their influence and weight in the upcoming elections, although I am not sure about the elections themselves,” noted Elena Lukash.
