Zelensky canceled Poroshenko’s important appointments in the system of control over courts
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky canceled the decrees of the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on the appointment of Mikhail Isakov and Andrey Vasilenko as members of the High Council of Justice (HCJ), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The corresponding presidential decrees No. 358/2019 and No. 359/2019 dated June 10 on the repeal of Presidential Decrees of May 13, 2019 No. 217 and No. 218 “On the appointment of a member of the High Council of Justice” were published on the website of the head of state today.
Two canceled presidential decrees discussed the appointment of Andrei Vasilenko and Mikhail Isakov as members of the High Council of Justice.
Currently, the SBI is investigating the fact that Petro Poroshenko seized state power and failed to comply with a court decision when appointing members of the High Council of Justice under his control.
According to the initiator of the case, lawyer Andrei Portnov, Poroshenko, having violated a direct injunction, in violation of the requirements of the law, canceled the terms of the competition by his own Decree and, acting deliberately, by prior conspiracy by an organized group of people, in order to maintain control over the judicial system, after the defeat in the elections illegally appointed two members of the highest body of the justice system.
Portnov also expressed his opinion on how President Zelensky should act after today’s decision to cancel Poroshenko’s appointments in his telegram channel.
“Next you need to perform two actions.
First. According to the investigation launched by the State Bureau of Investigation into Poroshenko’s usurpation of power when appointing members of the GRP, it is necessary to go to court to select a preventive measure for him, quickly send an indictment to the court and pronounce a sentence.
It’s a one-episode case; it’s possible to convict Poroshenko and Filatov (former deputy head of the Presidential Administration during Poroshenko’s time, curator of courts in the interests of the ex-president - Ed) in 5-6 months.
Second. In the new composition of parliament, it is necessary to vote on the bills of People’s Deputy Pisarenko on the termination of the powers of members of the GRP and the All-Russian Congress of the Supreme Soviet appointed during Poroshenko’s rule from all quotas at once,” the lawyer wrote.
