A harsh attack on Poroshenko took place in the Rada
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko managed to make mistakes in all areas, which he takes credit for.
Lyashkov deputy Oleg Kuprienko stated this during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They want to fool us again: false promises, cynical jokes - we heard this somewhere. Probably from election videos. They want to fool you again, as they fooled you twice in 2014, they promised to fulfill all the demands of the Maidan, came to power and have nothing to report on,” Kupriy said.
“Army, language, vira” - well, with faith, it somehow happened. The tomos, thank God and thanks to the Patriarchs of Constantinople, who realized that they wanted to use the tomos for the election campaign, somehow quickly gave it. But there’s no need to put this idea on billboards and drag out the holy idea so much that sometimes you don’t even want to listen.
Things didn’t work out a bit with the army, given the scandals with Ukroboronprom, but if you look, who develops the budget for the army, the president? No, Cabinet of Ministers. Who approves this budget, the president? No, the Verkhovna Rada. So what is the role of the president as commander in chief? We know what it is: assign your people to all army purchases, and we see what happened.
All that’s left is the “language”, and here we are in this room for the second week in a row considering 2800 amendments so that what? So that on Thursday, as the media announced, the Verkhovna Rada will vote on the language law, and the president will consider it within fifteen days, according to the Constitution, solemnly sign the law on the Saturday before the elections and say: “Here, we have fulfilled it.” It probably won't work either.
Even if we count the number of deputies who come to meetings, it doesn’t work out. And if it is not the Opposition Bloc that submits its amendments for approval, then we have representatives of the Poroshenko party bloc who immediately replace them and submit each of their amendments for confirmation. Probably there are not enough votes, and again something didn’t work out,” Kuprienko added.
Criticism of the current president was readily supported by Batkivshchyna representative Sergei Sobolev.
“What happened in the defense complex, when the Ukroboronprom system was totally corrupt - no conclusions, the president’s friends in the same positions, no interrogations either in the prosecutor’s office or in the SBU. The country was actually left alone with terrible multi-billion dollar blood deals in the army. The second question is the fight against corruption, which is what the president proclaimed. The rates are 10 and 20 thousand dollars in the prosecutor's office, the SBU, the newly created bodies for closing cases when the business is done on blood.
What is happening now is no different from Yanukovych’s team, who 15 years ago added 200 hryvnia to the pension. Look at the inflation rate, do the math - it will be the same. This is not a revision of the pension system, not a real indexation of pensions, these are two one-time handouts, for which not a penny has been allocated in the budget. What will happen after April is again a question that will be decided by the newly elected President of Ukraine,” Sobolev said.
“And now the key question: who will be responsible for the collapse of Ukroboronprom, for the total corrupt system of law enforcement agencies, who will be responsible for the total bribery of voters? I think it will be Poroshenko and his team,” added the Tymoshenko member.
The Rada is launching a harsh attack on Poroshenko.
