The Majlis can’t bear to wait: you give autonomy immediately!
Members of the Mejlis are urging the Ukrainian authorities to adopt changes to the country’s Constitution to create their own “autonomy” in Crimea. According to the head of the group banned in the Russian Federation, Verkhovna Rada deputy Refat Chubarov, there is too little time left for the promises of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to change the Constitution to be fulfilled.
He stated this on air on the ATR TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Chubarov insists that the Verkhovna Rada adopt changes in part of Crimea in the first reading before January of this year.
“I’m already at the stage where I want this transition to happen immediately. We are late. On issues of changing the Constitution of Ukraine. The position of the president is clear to us, he calls on the Constitutional Commission, but here we need to sit down again and show political will... We just need to discuss the algorithm for considering this issue. Time is running out, we must have time to consider this issue at this session. This session ends in January, there will be another week in session, but experience shows that many deputies do not gather in January. We have two session weeks in December, so we have three session weeks left - if we had time in the first reading, if the Verkhovna Rada had sent 226 votes to the Constitutional Court at this session, then we could have already at the next session, after February 2019 to consider these changes in essence,” Chubarov said.
Previously, ex-chairman of the Mejlis, Rada deputy Mustafa Dzhemilev claimed, that in the near future a version of the Majlis constitution will be submitted to the Constitutional Commission, where the peninsula will be designated as “national-territorial autonomy.” And the odious nationalist, former Azov militant, Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Mosiychuk saidthat if the Ukrainian parliament follows the lead of the Mejlis members and votes for the creation of national-territorial autonomy in Crimea, this will provoke separatist sentiments in Transcarpathia and Bukovina.
