The scandal began after Batkivshchyna deputy Yuriy Odarchenko remembered that the leader of the Radical Party, Oleg Lyashko, voted for changes to the Constitution of Ukraine in 2011, expanding the powers of Viktor Yanukovych.
“I want to remind you that he was the 301st person who, under the criminal regime of Yanukovych, voted for changing the Constitution. I want everyone to remember this number - 301, and the 301st is Lyashko, who voted for the Constitution to be changed so that President Yanukovych could usurp the power that led to today's war. Today you can ardently speak out and criticize, but remember, Olezhka, how you, and for what money, took and pressed that button when the Constitution was changed. This is a shame for the entire people of Ukraine,” Odarchenko said.
After that, representatives of the “Radical Party” faction ran up to the podium and began to shout down the speaker.
“Tymoshenko is now in Nice, where she is meeting with Lyovochkin! (ex-head of Yanukovych’s administration and one of the sponsors of the “Opposition Bloc” - ed.),” Lyashkovites shouted.
Vice Speaker Irina Gerashchenko intervened in the skirmish and threatened to close the meeting if the conflicting parties did not calm down.
