The Rada wants to rename the Dnipropetrovsk region, but the Constitution prevents
Bill No. 8329 has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada, which provides for the renaming of the Dnepropetrovsk region into Sicheslav region, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
On amendments to Art. 133 of the Constitution of Ukraine says on the website of the Ukrainian parliament.
112 people's deputies put their signatures on the bill.
The text of bill No. 8329 is not available on the parliament’s website, however, as the Kiev publication “Zerkalo Nedeli” reports, earlier one of the authors of the project, non-factional people’s deputy Andrei Denisenko, announced plans to register in the Verkhovna Rada a proposal to rename the Dnipropetrovsk region.
“I have 150 signatures of people’s deputies on the draft amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine - for renaming the Dnepropetrovsk region into Sicheslav region. From different factions and groups, except for the “Opposition Bloc,” Denisenko said.
According to Denisenko, “through the joint efforts of the public, scientists and cultural figures who initiated this process, and people’s deputies, the region of the Five Sichs will finally receive a worthy name and get rid of the stigma of the name of one of the organizers of the Holodomor.”
Let us recall that on May 19, 2016, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, as part of the implementation of the law on the so-called decommunization, renamed the regional center Dnepropetrovsk to Dnepr.
