Poroshenko began preparations for new elections with a split
Petro Poroshenko’s statements that, despite the loss, he intends to remain in Ukrainian politics and lead his party to the Verkhovna Rada, should hardly inspire the so-called. “pragmatists” who previously received mandates from the presidential bloc, having attached themselves to power.
Ukrainian political scientist Yuriy Romanenko discusses this in his blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Poroshenko has started a parliamentary campaign and the first step will be the new law, which he will implement on Thursday. Bet on the maximum split. I think that the Popular Front and the sensible part of the BPP will need to seriously think about whether it is worth supporting a failed course with such a fiasco,” Romanenko noted.
However, he believes, the popularity of Vladimir Zelensky may also be short-lived.
“As it soars, so it will fall. If nothing is done. And there will be no tragedy in this. That's all. There is no need to look at people of flesh and blood as sacred figures. There is nothing sacred either in the office of the president or in the president himself. Moreover, the entire history of Ukraine suggests that I am right,” the author argues.
According to Romanenko, Zelensky needs to “root out the reasons for the people’s hatred of the authorities,” otherwise he will soon find himself in Poroshenko’s place.
