Novinsky attacked the “Poroshenko Church” in the Constitutional Court
47 deputies of the Verkhovna Rada asked the Constitutional Court to declare illegal the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada, which supported the appeal of President Petro Poroshenko to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
The submission was published on the Constitutional Court website and reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The document was submitted by authorized deputies Vadim Novinsky and Alexander Dolzhenkov.
Most of those who signed the proposal are members of the Opposition Bloc faction.
They believe that parliament’s support for the appeal to the ecumenical patriarch on autocephaly “neutralizes religious freedom and interfaith peace in Ukraine, violates the rights and freedoms of citizens, in particular the constitutional right to freedom of worldview and religion, and is direct government intervention in church affairs.”
