We asked People's Deputy of Ukraine Volodymyr Heorhiyovych Karpuk to comment on the situation that has developed in the state.
The President's decrees have demonstrated his clear position regarding early elections. These are not decrees to please some political force; this is the decision of a statesman who sees Ukraine's strategic development and clearly defends the rights and freedoms of citizens. Viktor Yushchenko acted ahead of events. And his decrees on changes to the composition of the Constitutional Court and the Prosecutor General testify to this. This forced the Party of Regions to change its strategy and adopt a reasonable decision, noted Volodymyr Heorhiyovych.
It is regrettable that coalition colleagues – the socialists and communists – are hindering the fulfillment of the promises given by the prime minister to the people of Ukraine, noted Karpuk. - We understand that for these political forces this is the last attempt to get themselves free publicity, but this is not a reason to create artificial tension in society.
Political battles have already tired the Ukrainian community, therefore we believe that the only correct decision is to set the election date as soon as possible and make it impossible to create obstacles to the fulfillment of the will of the people, whose position the President himself defends, summarized the people's deputy.
