Maidan schizophrenia: “I am part of the government that I hate”
The approaching elections and the growing hatred of the population towards the thieving authorities are forcing former Maidan activists to look for more and more sophisticated ways to disavow the regime’s mistakes.
Poor and intimidated people are much easier to manage, which the current Ukrainian regime enjoys and enjoys, said an active Euromaidan participant, Verkhovna Rada deputy Olga Bogomolets, on the Nash TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is called the “paternalistic way of governing the country.” The poorer the people, the easier it is to govern them. They threw a thousand hryvnia, the man took it and that’s it, opening the way for scammers for the next years. Either they gave me buckwheat, or they brought some kind of package. When people are poor, they think about how to eat. It is much easier for a state to govern during a war in such misfortune and poverty. People are afraid, and people want to get something,” Bogomolets said.
“You just can’t imagine how much I hate this government. As a person, I am part of the government that I hate,” the politician added.
