“This is responsibility for statements that may lead to changes in the political system, changes in certain foundations of the state. That is, these are actions that have, let’s say, public, social danger.
I want to say this... Well, you don’t like the state - a suitcase, a train station, Russia. Or anywhere. But if you live in our state, use state benefits, communicate... Well, that’s not possible.
Therefore, I am still introducing a bill where the responsibility is correctional labor, up to imprisonment. It is necessary for people to understand: if people live in a state, it must be respected,” Mateichenko said on TV channel 112.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier his colleague Victoria Syumar said that they will talk with Mateichenko about his legislative initiative and explain why it does not have the right to be implemented.
