“The source of our problems is double standards: one law applies to those who have power or money, another to the ordinary person. To one — everything, to another — nothing. The majority of society suffers from prices that are constantly rising, while some enrich themselves because of this. The inequality of citizens before the law is the foundation of corruption,” believes the head of the political council of the Volyn regional Election Bloc “Our Ukraine – People's Self-Defense” Volodymyr Karpuk.
“The first strike of the Bloc ‘Our Ukraine – People's Self-Defense’ in the Verkhovna Rada will be the abolition of parliamentary immunity, as well as special privileges for deputies, such as free housing and elite sanatoriums,” he emphasized.
“I, as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the previous convocation, can say that a people's deputy can maintain housing and receive treatment even on his own salary. Just as all ordinary citizens of Ukraine do. The law must be the same for everyone,” noted Volodymyr Heorhiovych.
“The implementation of the President's social initiatives is a reality. And the funds needed to increase assistance at the birth of the first child to 12 thousand hryvnias and to ensure a salary level of 2,100 hryvnias, to increase labor pension payments by 35% — are appropriated by the ‘caste of the untouchables.’ As of today, 1 million 501 thousand 143 signatures of citizens have been collected in Ukraine; in Volyn this number is 40 thousand. I think these figures allow us to speak of the determination of our actions, which our opponents doubt so much,” emphasized Volodymyr Karpuk.
