After the bill was also refused to be sent for revision, its author Nikolai Knyazhitsky from the Popular Front attacked his coalition colleagues from the BPP with accusations.
“I am calling on my colleagues who have a shred of conscience left to stop taking part in the work of this Verkhovna Rada,” the deputy urged. – I will at least do this until we at least send the bill for a second second reading, until we show who in this hall is against Ukraine and Ukrainians, who is speculating and lying in favor of the Lyovochkins, Firtashes and other corrupt officials. And now they are trying through such bastards as Leshchenko, who sits and barks, through such scoundrels as Chervakova, who does not leave Inter.
According to him, the named deputies and everyone who did not vote for the bill are trying to destroy Ukraine.
“You want to continue. so that the Russian people who mocked us continue to dance in the October Palace on the bones of our ancestors? Go and dance there yourself. I will not take part in this circus,” Knyazhitsky said.
Sergei Leshchenko did not remain in debt and in response made accusations against the author of the bill. saying that he is connected with those involved in the attack on the Maidan protesters and works for Moscow.
“The entire state saw how they were now trying to introduce a corruption scheme with an anti-people front. The man who was with the father of Russian propaganda, Kiselev, who, together with Sivkovich, fled to Russia and was involved in the dispersal of the Maidan, which destroyed the only opposition channel during the time of Yanukovych - TVI. And he says that he defends national interests. This person is an agent who was sent here and defends interests hostile to Ukraine,” Leshchenko said.
In turn, Olga Chervakova from the BPP thanked the session hall for the fact that “reason defeated insanity.”
“Our faction believes that this area needs to be regulated,” she said. – It’s a shame that there is Russian influence in the Ukrainian humanitarian sphere. But not when this area is regulated with the help of raider laws.”
