Paid homeless people were caught at the National Corps rally in Kyiv
During a protest rally by the radical organization “National Corps” in the center of Kyiv, nationalists detained two girls with a group of marginalized people allegedly hired by Petro Poroshenko’s headquarters to discredit the nationalist rally against the president.
This was reported by the press service of the National Corps, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Among the protest participants gathered on the Maidan, we found a group of homeless people who were specially brought to the rally in order to later show the corresponding picture in the media.
One of the girls who was leading these would-be protesters, seeing our camera, stopped the instructions and demanded that the filming be stopped.
The notebook of the curators of the homeless groups contained information about the meeting point, the number of participants and payment for the work performed. We called the police to record this fact,” the message says.
According to one of the homeless people interviewed by nationalists, at about 9 o’clock in the morning two girls approached them at the Kiev station with an offer to take part in the rally for 120-130 hryvnia.
“Today our activists detained two girls who, using a list, gave money to the homeless, which they collected in order to discredit and depersonalize our movement. A lot of drunk and bad-looking people tried to create a picture for their own media, which specifically approached them and tried to get a comment on why they had gathered,” one of the “National Corps” activists also explained.
At the same time, he showed a notebook taken from one of the girls with lists of “recruited” participants in this and other public actions.
