Yushchenko: BYuT destroying democracy in Ukraine

Actions of the BYUT faction, which is blocking the parliament, are undemocratic. President Viktor Yushchenko told journalists.

"Actions of the Prime Minister and her force are undemocratic. Moreover, such actions are destroying democracy in Ukraine," the president said.

He underlined that he was surprised by such behaviour, as decisions of the parliament can help to overcome the crisis and stabilize the financial and economic situation in the country.

"At the NSDC session I addressed all political forces with the request to hold several sessions of the parliament to solve urgent questions concerning normalization of the situation in the country," Yushchenko said.

The president noted that there are no grounds for blocking the work of the parliament.

As a reminder, BYUT deputies have blocked the presidium and platform of the parliament.
