Kyiv, October 02 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Mikhailov) - Petro Poroshenko, whose son is running for the Verkhovna Rada in the upcoming elections, repeats the behavior of the Family of Viktor Yanukovych, whose youngest son was included in passing seats and received a deputy mandate with all the accompanying benefits.
Field commander of Maidan 2004 Taras Stetskiv told PolitNavigator about this.

“There is nothing wrong with the fact that Alexander Poroshenko is running for the Verkhovna Rada. But he is the son of the president, and this creates certain moral problems.
Previously, he was not noticed in political activities, except for the fact that he became a deputy of the regional Rada from the Batkivshchyna party.
It seems to me that the president is not being entirely honest when he says that his son did not consult with him when he nominated himself. This is probably not true.
From a moral and ethical point of view, these two moments remind me of the behavior of the previous president, Yanukovych. He, however, included his son in the party list.
I am not a supporter of parents dragging their children into politics using their status. In this case, the status of president.
It seems to me that, although this is not prohibited by law, there are questions here from the moral and ethical side. We don’t have “family contracts.” But, unfortunately, such phenomena do occur,” Stetskiv said.
