The nationalists from Svoboda greeted this news with applause and stood up from their seats. The communists themselves were not in the hall at that moment.
Turchynov explained that the Communist Party faction is being liquidated on the basis that several deputies left it the day before, and now the number of members is only 23 parliamentarians, which is not enough for a separate faction.
After the dissolution of the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Communists will lose their quota in parliamentary committees; the Communists will not have the right to speak from the podium and conciliation councils from their political forces.
