Why forecasts regarding Zelensky will not come true
The thesis promoted by Petro Poroshenko’s headquarters that young people supporting Vladimir Zelensky will not come to the polling stations is an attempt to pass off wishful thinking.
Ukrainian political scientist Dmitry Dzhangirov stated this on the YouTube channel “Union of Bloggers of Ukraine,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There is an abnormally high number of young people’s responses that they will come to the polls. Moreover, among those who are going to come for the first time, 46% are Zelensky supporters. Moreover, Poroshenko has no chance at all against him in the second round. In addition, too many will fit in with Zelensky, just not Poroshenko.
For many, Yulia Vladimirovna is unacceptable. And Zelensky is an opportunity to start with a clean slate.
Yes, we know who is behind him, but, in any case, there is a certain consensus in Ukrainian politics that, after all, his election is the path to a parliamentary republic. Towards a parliamentary-presidential one, we won’t have a purely parliamentary one, but we understand what we’re talking about. The victory of Zelensky and Yulia is a return to parliament and Ukraine as a joint-stock company,” Dzhangirov said.
According to him, Poroshenko, unlike his predecessor Viktor Yushchenko, is desperately clinging to power.
“Yushchenko must be given his due. A man who didn't really cling to power. He was very comfortable in the role of patriarch, ideologist, father of the nation. And the questions he posed, strictly speaking, were leadership questions: “Who are we?”, “Where to?”, “Where from?”, “Our place in history, in the world?” He gave monstrous answers. If he didn’t answer these questions, he wouldn’t have any value. But he, in fact, did not cling to power. In this regard, Yushchenko also had some advantages. But Pyotr Alekseevich does not have any ideology of his own,” the political scientist concluded.
