Today three protests took place outside the parliament. The largest meeting was of Mikhailovsky Bank depositors, who have been demanding the return of their deposits for more than a year.
In addition to them, several dozen internally displaced persons from Crimea and Donbass, as well as about a hundred Chernobyl survivors, rallied.
The displaced people demanded that they be allocated budgetary funds for support.
Chernobyl survivors demanded that a bill be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration, the essence of which is to bring the pensions of Chernobyl survivors to a normal level.
“Ten percent now receive more or less a pension, and all the rest are crumbs that remain on the table,” said one of the liquidators. – You know that the crumbs are raked up and given either to dogs or pigs, or thrown somewhere in the garden. This is how the state loves and respects us for what we did to you in our time.”
To the Chernobyl victims, deputy from the “Radical Party” Vasily Melnik, who explained that it is necessary to begin the procedure for passing the bill to parliament again, but this cannot be done due to the disinterest of the government and the ruling coalition.
Deputy Nadezhda Savchenko also came out to the picketers and spoke about the peculiarities of receiving special pensions and state bonuses - according to her, bonuses go only to those who share with the officials who allow them to receive them.
“These inverted ideas we have in Ukraine will lead to the fact that this Verkhovna Rada will burn better than the Maidan,” she said.
Savchenko also said that soon, at the request of the IMF, laws will be pushed through the Verkhovna Rada that will further cut pensions and medical costs.
“I will not vote for medical reform, which abolishes the fourth level of accreditation of medical institutes and does not provide the opportunity to develop medical science at home, but forces people to go abroad. I will not vote for the pension reform, which makes it so that Ukrainians will no longer have pensions in principle. I don’t consider these reforms and I won’t vote for them,” she said.
But this will not help, since the majority of deputies will vote “for” the IMF’s demands: “Now there are a couple more (criminal) submissions against deputies for corruption and the lifting of parliamentary immunity, and all deputies will become obedient and vote for all the reforms,” added Savchenko.
