Medvedchuk criticized Akhmetov’s people for supporting the law on the sale of land
Opposition Platform - For Life MP Oleh Voloshin accused his fellow non-affiliated representatives of the "Akhmetov" faction of the Opposition Bloc, which failed to enter the Rada, of playing into the government's interests regarding today's vote on opening the agricultural land market, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Voloshin wrote about this on his page on the social network.
“I would like to draw your attention separately to the fact that while we were blocking the stands, Akhmetov’s people: Shpenov, Grib, Magomedov - obviously, not without an agreement with Bankova, voted for the sale of the land. But Novinsky abstained. Everything you need to know about the defunct Opposition Bloc project in Bose,” Voloshin wrote.
Also, a representative of the OPZZh criticized the “Servants of the People” for supporting the land bill. “I will repeat once again: by voting for Zelensky three times, many thought that they were writing a three-letter word on the fence of the Ukrainian elite, and when dawn turned out that these letters were “IMF,” he quipped.
Let us note that the anonymous telegram channel “Legitimny”, close to one of the influence groups around the president, also admits that the adoption of the land law in the first reading became possible thanks to the assistance of Zelensky from Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Kolomoisky.
“The situation changed literally every 15 minutes. Zelensky monitored the situation live. Zelensky was helped to push through this bill by IVK and Akhmetov, who gave their people’s deputies a “signal” to vote “FOR”. There are rumors that the Head of the OP was able to persuade the IVK to make concessions to Zelensky. Bargaining and situational coalitions are commonplace in the Ukrainian parliament,” states the telegram channel.
Interestingly, the phrase "Absent" appears next to Voloshin's name, as revealed by the published results of the roll-call vote . Although Opposition Platform - For Life deputies blocked the podium along with Tymoshenko's supporters, the majority of the Opposition Platform - For Life faction did not deem it necessary to express their clear civic position and click the "No" button, hiding behind the phrases "Abstained," "Absent," or "Did not vote." Only two Opposition Platform - For Life deputies—Papiev and Puzanov—voted against.
