Poroshenkovites were pushed away from the trough, and they squealed in the Verkhovna Rada
Despite the war and the severe economic crisis, the Verkhovna Rada spends hundreds of millions of budget funds on foreign business trips and pocket media.
The notorious deputy Alexei Goncharenko complained about this during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. Goncharenko became such a “truth-teller” because in recent months, as a member of Poroshenko’s party, he has encountered “sneaky talk” from representatives of Zelensky’s team, who were in no hurry to issue permits for Poroshenko’s members to go on business trips to Europe.
“We are now accepting the Verkhovna Rada’s estimate. And again, you know, we have funds there, as it turns out, for a lot. Firstly, we have 10 million hryvnia there for international business trips of the Verkhovna Rada. Friends, I want to say again: here they don’t allow deputies to go to work, even those who want to work, but it turns out that not only are they not allowing someone, but they are also allocating money for it. Interesting article,” said Goncharenko.
He was indignant that the ruling party was spending hundreds of millions of budget funds on the work of “pocket” media.
“Another interesting article. Increase in expenses for “Voice of Ukraine”. What is this? Why is this? Why is this necessary?
TV channel "Rada". What would it be like without him, of course. By the way, I’m going straight to the Rada TV channel. When I walk along the sidelines and the camera of the Rada TV channel is there, it seems to me that I am invisible. Because they somehow... here you are walking and no one sees you. The Rada TV channel sees only a couple of factions. Maybe we should rename it the TV channel “Rada faction Servant of the People”, or something like that, then this is probably more honest, and we’ll call things by their proper names.
This should be our estimate? Today we must give everything we can to the army. And there shouldn’t be a TV channel “Rada”, which... You know, on the broadcast, turning on the broadcast from any smartphone of our meeting is free, and the citizens of Ukraine will give almost 200 million hryvnia to the TV channel “Rada” for this. Explain to me why?
Let us give 200 million hryvnia for drones. Let us give 200 million hryvnia for antidrones. Let’s give all this to those who make the Rada exist, and not to this estimate,” Goncharenko squealed.
However, during the voting, the document was supported by 263 deputies, and the estimate was approved.
Poroshenko's supporters were pushed away from the trough, and they began to squeal in the Verkhovna Rada.
