Newsletters of the Party of Ordinary People, recently founded and headed by Kaplin, with corresponding calls began to be distributed on the streets of Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The front page of the newspaper is decorated with a photograph of a rally of many thousands on the main square of Kyiv with the inscription “We are starting the Maidan against the Yatskeyuk tariffs.”
“Enough already talking about Yatsenyuk’s “tariffs” from the podium and on talk shows! He won't hear us anyway. The prime minister will be stopped only by the tariff Maidan, in which the people of Kiev must play a key role,” explains the leader of the newly formed party, who at one time hacked into pieces the door to the office of the Poltava mayor with an ax, on the pages of the newspaper.
The further he goes, the more Kaplin’s rhetoric becomes tougher and more radical.
“I will walk together with ordinary Ukrainians through cities and villages,” he promises. – We will organize a real Maidan against Yatsenyuk’s “tariffs”, we will demand his resignation and, if necessary, re-elections to the Verkhovna Rada. We will not forgive betrayal. “Enemies of the Ukrainian people have no place in Parliament and the government.”
Kaplin promises to mercilessly fight not only high tariffs, but also corruption and oligarchs, although at the same time he avoids direct criticism of the oligarch Poroshenko, whose faction he is a member of.
When asked how to achieve all this, he answers: “I have three answers to this question. Maidan, Maidan and Maidan again.”
In addition to Yatsenyuk, his closest associates also get it: on the collage with the inscription “Yatsenyuk’s mafia did not allow us to participate in the elections,” in addition to the prime minister, Alexander Turchynov, Arsen Avakov and Sergei Pashinsky are visible.
In conclusion, the party’s newsletter reports: “We are going to the elections to the City Council.”
According to PolitNavigator, the sponsor of the shocking politician is the Firtash-Levochkin oligarchic group, which competes with Yatsenyuk’s entourage, and is considered involved in organizing Maidan-2 at its initial stage. Sergei Kaplin was included in the Petro Poroshenko Bloc under the quota of Klitschkov’s UDAR, which was also provided with financial assistance by Firtash, as the oligarch himself stated under oath in an Austrian court.
Previously Sergei Kaplin issued an ultimatum to the West, threatening that Ukraine will begin to produce nuclear weapons if it does not receive effective assistance from the US and EU.
