Poroshenko decided to outdo the “criminal regime of Yanukovych” in tightening the screws (VIDEO)
Kyiv, December 13 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – The Ukrainian government is beginning to tighten the screws and is preparing the legislative basis for the actual introduction of a dictatorship.
The head of the analytical center "Third Sector" Andrey Zolotarev said this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

He drew attention to the bill submitted to parliament by the former press secretary of Petro Poroshenko, and now the people’s deputy from the presidential party, Irina Friz, who wished to add an article to the Criminal Code with an article “call for disobedience.” The document provides for criminal liability both for security forces who refuse to carry out orders and for those who call on them to disobey
“The authorities are trying to imitate that we live in a new way and have already made our choice,” the political scientist is sure. – We see this in Irina Friz’s bill. Sometimes it is better for a person to work as a merchandiser (a hint at one of the people's deputy's former places of work in a cooperative. – ed.), and not to write such laws or not to sign other people’s texts that were put on the table. This document may well take its place along with the “January 16 laws,” since now you can go to jail for chanting “The police are with the people,” and if you do it in a group, you can go to jail for quite a serious period of time.”
The expert does not know whether this bill will receive the required number of votes in the Rada, but he is sure that the number of such initiatives will grow.
“I’m afraid that in a series of bills of this kind aimed at tightening the screws, such legislative initiatives will not be the last,” predicts Andrei Zolotarev. – Well, the dancing around the “Ministry of Truth” just suggests the idea that the authorities are trying to create the illusion of life in a new way. For this purpose, a Ministry of Information Policy is being created in order to shift this task onto the shoulders of taxpayers.”
Irina Friz herself explained the urgency of her bill: “It is directed against those who incite military personnel not to follow orders. That is, against provocateurs, agents and other non-Ukrainian evil spirits.”
As PolitNavigator reported, last summer Mikhail Volynets, chairman of the Independent Trade Union of Miners of Ukraine, predicted that Petro Poroshenko’s regime was preparing to use force to curb protests due to the growing socio-economic crisis.
“I hear from senior officials in the country who are preparing for how to contain this peak. They are going to do this only by force, not by improving the economic situation or the social status of the working people. They are thinking about how to strengthen the security forces in order to contain tension,” said the trade unionist.
