No more than 10 deputies of the Servant of the People are privy to the affairs of the Ze-gang - Pogrebinsky

Many initiatives of Vladimir Zelensky, such as annulment of parliamentary immunity or introduction proportional system – just populism, designed to cover up the actions of the real owners of Ukraine.

Political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The electoral system and the number of deputies are such a tribute to populist expectations. It is known that this idea is popular, just like the populist idea of ​​lifting parliamentary immunity. That is, the president in this matter acts in his role of “president of the people,” which he plays on stage.

Everything is clear here. It is not clear why there is no mention that the lists should be open. Evil tongues can say - he saw how cool it is to live when parliament is not a place for discussion, it works like a crazy printer, printing laws like hot cakes, without thinking or discussing. It is absolutely clear that all of these 254 people, with the exception of a dozen people, are completely off topic. They simply follow the command of the president to vote for certain laws.

He thinks: “Well, that’s cool. Why give open lists, there will still be people there who will think, criticize, discuss something themselves. And so we will add those we need to the lists, and it will be great,” Pogrebinsky noted.

In turn, Georgy Kryuchkov, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the XNUMXrd and XNUMXth convocations, former head of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, also believes that many of the steps of the new president are aimed at maintaining his popularity.

“The trend (of Vladimir Zelensky - editor's note) is boundless populism, for which there are incredibly serious conditions. In the elections, the people did not vote for Zelensky, but against Poroshenko and what happened under him. Zelensky responds to many of these sentiments of people.

The people clearly refused to trust the Verkhovna Rada. 5% of trust in the legislative body is already “arrived.” Even if he suggested that there should be 100 people in the Verkhovna Rada, society would also applaud,” Kryuchkov concludes.

The ex-people's deputy also expressed the opinion that Vladimir Zelensky is a very cunning project to preserve Ukraine in its previous political direction.

“My opinion is becoming increasingly stronger that Zelensky is a very smart project. To do such a thing on the sentiments of people, under the brand of colossal, super-convincing anti-Poroshenko rhetoric, to maintain the course that Poroshenko pursued - this can be done by people with enormous experience,” he added, refusing to name specific names.

In turn, Mikhail Pogrebinsky noted that the current Ukrainian political establishment is under the complete control of foreign oligarchs and Washington.

“This prime minister and government ended up in the hands of people who were trained in grant structures, who had the schemes of this most notorious libertarian philosophy put into their brains.

And if earlier Poroshenko was interested in being loved in the West, but so that he could steal on his own, and in the government there were people whom he trusted, and not Soros or Pinchuk.

Now in the government there are people who are trusted by Soros, Pinchuk and the US Embassy, ​​which does not even hide the fact that it is involved in the appointment process when it says: “Yes, we like Ryaboshapka.” Who will argue now,” the expert concluded.
