Lyashko crumbles a loaf of bread against Poroshenko: The first crack has appeared in the coalition (VIDEO)
Kyiv, December 09 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – If not the first, then an obvious crack has emerged in the Verkhovna Rada coalition - on Tuesday, representatives of the ruling majority from Oleg Lyashko’s Radical Party blocked the parliamentary rostrum, expressing dissatisfaction with the distribution of positions in parliamentary committees.

“It is absolutely unacceptable for us that leadership positions in the committees will be occupied by odious individuals, former regionals who voted for the tyrannical laws on January 16, who have the blood of the heroes of our revolution on their conscience,” Andrei Lozovoy, deputy chairman of the radical faction, explained the reasons for the demarche to a PolitNavigator correspondent. “That’s why we blocked the podium, demanding that Oleg Lyashko’s resolution to cancel the election of these odious individuals to the leadership of the committees be included in the order of the day.”
The representative of the Radical Party blames his senior coalition partners for the fact that these people somehow got their positions.
“This is on the conscience of the Popular Front and, first of all, the Petro Poroshenko Bloc,” Lozovoy emphasized. – We constantly raised this issue at the Coalition Council. That is why the Radical Party faction did not vote on the distribution of leadership positions in the committees.”
Surprise at the outbreak of squabbles was expressed by Right Sector deputy Borislav Bereza, who did not join the coalition.
“We are increasingly seeing that parliament is turning into some kind of incomprehensible circus,” says the politician. – Instead of the highest legislative body, where I tried to get to in order to change the situation in the country, I ended up in a typical Byzantine theater, where behind-the-scenes agreements do not work even among the behind-the-scenes people themselves, where the coalition majority is not a coalition majority. It must itself block the podium in order to achieve its own decisions.”
The representative of the Right Sector does not rule out that the country may not expect changes from the current Verkhovna Rada.
“Then the people will take the reins of government into their own hands,” Bereza warns. “I don’t know how good or bad it will be, but I hope it’s no worse than it is now.”
