The PR deputy Taras
Chornovil told journalists commenting on his decision to leave the party.
He declared he is going to
leave politics. “I will stay and keep working in the committee on foreign
affairs; I think I do this job well. As for political activity, well, there is
no politics as it is,” Chornovil said.
The deputy noted he is not
leaving the faction. “I leave the party and don’t take part in the next
elections, whatever they are,” he underlined.
“Supporting the President
we ruined the possibility of normal and stable development of the country,” he
said. According to him, the Party of Regions knew that the President wanted to
destroy the VR and parliamentarianism itself in the country.
According to Chornovil, the
President wants to make the parliament unable to function and not to announce
early elections.
“In this case the President
will adopt changes to the Constitution by means of the referendum, and these
changes will give him power for ages,” he added.
The deputy also noted that
this process started in the party two-three week ago. “I tried to influence it,
but nobody listened to,” he said.
Chornovil also denied any
accusations of support of BYuY. “I don’t support anyone. I support normal
position, when it was possible to form powerful majority between BYuT and the
PR avoiding political issues,” he underscored.
“It won’t happen now, and I
don’t want to play this,” he added.
According to him, it was
the Party of Regions who ruined the talks with BYuT on the coalition formation
after having submitted the draft bill on the state service concerning
obligatory knowledge of the Russian language for state officials.
“This draft bill put BYuT into
awkward situation,” Chornovil summed up.
