The people are angry: Zelensky is feverishly looking for a corrupt goat for a show trial
Vladimir Zelensky came to power on a wave of anti-corruption sentiment, and people expected him to imprison corrupt officials. However, he did not live up to these expectations.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Why did Zelensky come to power? Because there was a request to fight corruption. Someone needs to be imprisoned, a corrupt official, so that people can calm down. Moreover, it is necessary to imprison and judge, and not just imprison. Everything must be legal, it must be competent work of prosecutors, investigators, etc.
If no one is imprisoned, if people do not see a real fight against corruption, if they do not see imprisonments, the ratings will plummet. The president’s rating will fall not even because the hryvnia may devalue, salaries will decrease, pensions will be indexed. But corruption...
The rating is about corruption. Direct dependency. When there was a presidential campaign, the main request from people was to imprison the corrupt official. We need a punisher who will punish this corruption.
If before the deadline, May 20, the anniversary of Zelensky’s inauguration, there is no high-profile case, a high-profile landing, there will be problems with the rating. I predict that by this time there will be some results,” Karasev predicts.
