Elena Dyachenko, director of the consulting company Party of Power, said this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
She recalled that three bills have been registered in the Verkhovna Rada, one of which proposes to take away the name from the UOC, another to legalize the seizure of churches, and the third to coordinate the appointment of church hierarchs with the authorities.
Dyachenko also indicated that none of these bills have been withdrawn.
“During his address to parliament, the Ukrainian president hinted that the bill on the need to coordinate hierarchs with the current government would be postponed. Regarding the other two, he delicately kept silent. That is, it must be assumed that the promotion of these two bills is not excluded,” the expert said.
She also drew attention to the analytical note prepared by the National Institute for Strategic Studies for the presidential address.
“Mr. Gorbulin and his team described in great detail the process of creating a local Orthodox church with full state support. So complete that a separate position of ambassador for local church affairs is created in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a position and platform is created in the Ministry of Culture in order to promote this church at state expense on media and other platforms available to the state. That's it in a nutshell. It is very clear to read between the lines that all sorts of discrimination against the UOC is assumed there,” Dyachenko emphasized.
