Opposition not attends talks

Talks among the leaders of factions in office of the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada have not take place today, as the opposition has not yet decided on a united position, leader of the Party of Regions faction Oleksandr Yefremov said, ForUm correspondent reports.

"They are talking to each other and, as I understand, cannot agree on a common position," he said.

Yefremov said that the majority has only one proposal - go to the session hall and start working.

Commenting on the statement made by opposition that the court’s ruling on withdrawal mandate from MP Vlasenko is a dangerous precedent as now any MP may be deprived of mandate in such a way, Yefremov said: "Only he, who breaks the law, may be deprived of a mandate, not any MP. This is a principled position and if any of the deputies has thought he is above the law, now there is a real precedent showing that MP shall obey the law".
