Stefanchuk in the chair of Rada Speaker is expected to be unprincipled and “Parubiyevism”
With the resignation of Verkhovna Rada Speaker Dmitry Razumkov, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky completed the “greening” of the Ukrainian parliament.
Ukrainian political scientist Valentin Gaidai stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If Razumkov continued to be in the speaker’s chair, he would be extremely inconvenient for the mono-majority and the president as a speaker who adheres to the rules. After all, a number of issues are now ripe for the authorities, which they want to lobby for as quickly as possible. This includes the budget for next year, these are various demands of the IMF, and this is judicial reform.
Naturally, if we are talking about the legal, procedural time frame for considering these laws, then if we are talking about the budget, it will take from several weeks to a month, if we are talking about judicial reform, it can generally drag on for more than one session,” said expert.
“That’s why they urgently needed to turn on the Parubiyevism.” That is, to have a speaker who will violate the regulations and who will pedal laws that are important for Bankova at lightning speed, in violation of the procedure,” Gaidai said.
According to him, the figure of the newly elected speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk fully corresponds to these requests.
“Unlike Razumkov, Stefanchuk is devoid of any ambitions, be it creating some kind of his own project or, especially, running for president. This will be a completely tame speaker, dependent on Bankova’s decision, on whom it will be possible to put pressure. They agreed on Stefanchuk as an ordinary technocrat who has no ambitions. I think that he will be obedient to Bankova,” the political scientist explained.
“After the purge of the security bloc, the resignation of Avakov, there remained, for example, Razumkov, who was more or less an alternative decision-making center, he was removed. Obviously, Klitschko will be next in line, his dismissal from the post of head of the Kyiv City State Administration. And I think that now, with the removal of Razumkov, the “greening” of parliament has truly ended,” Gaidai concluded.
