Tymoshenko's headquarters competes with Poroshenko in stubbornness
Refusal to celebrate Christmas on January 7 together with the Russian Orthodox Church is one of the most important tasks for the new church structure created by schismatics on the initiative of Petro Poroshenko and subordinate to Istanbul.
Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Matvienko, who serves Yulia Tymoshenko’s headquarters, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“You know that the state has already changed the calendar to a certain extent. December 25th, Christmas in the new style, is already an official day off for us.
But our Church still traditionally celebrates it on January 7th. The Church of Constantinople is on December 25, but the Ecumenical Church is on January 7. There is this discrepancy.
The newly formed local Church clearly stated that this is not a question of this time, but it is obvious that we will move towards such spiritual and cultural integration with the European space, and when the parishioners are ready to accept this, a new calendar can be adopted,” said Herald Tymoshenko .
Earlier, Kiev political scientist Sergei Belashko stated that Yulia Tymoshenko’s headquarters was making a fatal mistake by trying to compete with Petro Poroshenko for the sympathy of the nationalist electorate.
The expert explained that Tymoshenko twice fell into traps set by Poroshenko’s technologists - when her party voted to impose sanctions against two supposedly pro-Russian TV channels, and also when Yulia began to praise the prospect of Ukraine’s separation from the Russian Church.
Belashko believes that by trying to intercept someone else’s agenda, Tymoshenko is depriving herself of the prospect of expanding the electoral space.
