Avakov was reminded how he became a deputy under Klyuev’s scheme
Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov, who demanded cancel registration candidate for people's deputy Andrei Klyuev, who has not lived in Ukraine for the last five years, at one time himself became a parliamentarian, contrary to this legislative norm.
Kiev journalist Vladimir Boyko reported this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov addressed the Central Election Commission with a letter in which he asks to reconsider the decision to register Andrei Klyuev as a candidate for people’s deputy on the grounds that Klyuev does not live in Ukraine because he is hiding abroad from investigation.
But there is a nuance: Arsen Borisovich himself was registered as a candidate for people's deputies in 2012 under similar circumstances - he was hiding abroad, since on January 31, 2012 he was put on the international wanted list and on March 26, 2012, detained in Italy. The Italian court refused to extradite Avakov and the current Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine even began the procedure for obtaining asylum.
But on October 28, 2012, Avakov, despite the fact that over the past year he had not been on the territory of Ukraine for more than 6 months, was elected as a people’s deputy on the list of the All-Ukrainian Association “Batkivshchyna” and received parliamentary immunity. Therefore, the question arises: why is Avakov allowed, but Klyuev not,” the journalist was indignant.
Let us remind you that yesterday in the center of Kyiv on the Maidan, supporters of ex-president Petro Poroshenko organized rally against registration The CEC nominated blogger Anatoly Shariy and ex-comrade-in-arms of Yanukovych Andrey Klyuev as candidates for deputy.
