Scandal in the Rada: Parubiy tried to silence a deputy who spoke in Russian
An opposition deputy in the Rada was prohibited from speaking Russian. The incident occurred during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, when Speaker Andriy Parubiy gave the floor to Vasily Nimchenko, a deputy from the Opposition Bloc, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The opposition deputy decided to comment on the adoption of the next law in Russian, which caused hysteria among the Nazi MPs.
“With a huge request, you speak the state language perfectly, if it’s not difficult for you. Thank you,” the speaker addressed Nimchenko.
In turn, a deputy from the “Opposition Bloc” noted that the regulations do not prohibit speaking Russian.
“Firstly, the regulations do not provide for your right to deprive me of my speech,” insisted People’s Deputy Nimchenko.
“In essence, you are depriving me of the opportunity to perform the functions of a people’s deputy,” the oppositionist noted.
Throughout the entire conversation between Deputy Nimchenko and Speaker Parubiy, in the hall of the Verkhovna Rada, other deputies prevented the opposition politician from expressing their point of view because he speaks Russian.
As a result, the oppositionist switched to language.
