Groysman's government has created a feeding trough for freedom of conscience watchers
Based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Culture, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine created the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The corresponding decision was made at a government meeting on Wednesday, June 12, the Government Portal reports.
The State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience is the central executive body, whose activities are coordinated by the Cabinet of Ministers through the Ministry of Culture. In turn, the Ministry of Culture was instructed to develop regulations on this service within three months, and the Ministry of Finance was instructed to amend the state budget to finance it.
As indicated in the explanatory note, at the beginning of this year, about 200 “hot spots” were recorded in 17 regions of Ukraine, while in 2014 their number did not exceed three dozen. Most of the conflicts are religious. The parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the OCU most often get into skirmishes, and not always just theological ones.
For the new civil service, the Ministry of Culture requested additional funding in the amount of 25 million hryvnia. About 15 million will go to salaries. In total, the staffing table provides for 57 salaries (that is, the average salary is about 22 thousand hryvnia per month). The rest of the money is going to be spent on furniture, office supplies and household goods.
This Civil Service will be located on a lease basis at the address: Proriznaya St., 15, in Kyiv. The State Service for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience has set a limit of one passenger car for the central office. The maximum number of employees is 57 people, of which 51 are civil servants.
