Ukrainianizers openly make fun of Zelensky’s weakness
Neither the protests of neighboring Hungary nor the pathetic objections of President-elect Zelensky will force the Kiev government to abandon its discriminatory laws on education and language.
The co-author of the “language law”, a member of the Expert Group on Language Policy under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, nationalist Sergei Osnach, stated this on air on the UA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The thing that has been most attacked by Hungary is the norm on education. This norm has already been reviewed by the Venice Commission and received quite positive reviews; there is no point in considering this norm again. Moreover, the law “On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language” provides for some prolongation of the current standards until a sufficient number of teachers are trained. That is, those representatives of national minorities who began to study according to the rules that existed before the adoption of the law, they will continue to study according to the same rules until 2025,” says the nationalist.
At the same time, according to a representative of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Russophobic law adopted recently, which largely infringes on the rights of Russian-speaking citizens, is unlikely to be repealed by the newly elected President Vladimir Zelensky.
“In order to revise this law, the new president needs to get a majority in the Verkhovna Rada and I hope that this will not happen. The fact is that the struggle for this law has been going on for years, and, despite what the newly elected President Zelensky says, there has been a discussion about this bill in the public environment for two years. To say that it came out of nowhere, and we don’t know it, haven’t read it, and will analyze and revise something, is, at a minimum, not correct,” Osnach is sure.
