President Viktor Yushchenko states that the termination of the activities of the coalition of democratic forces and the announcement of the creation of an anti-crisis coalition does not comply with the Constitution and the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada. \n \n"The withdrawal of individual deputies from the coalition and the announced termination of the activities of the coalition of democratic forces in connection with this does not comply with the Constitution and the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada," says the president's address to the Verkhovna Rada. \n \n"Under such circumstances, the formation and activity of a new coalition, including the submission by such a coalition of any proposals to the President of Ukraine, without the termination in the established manner of the activities of the previously formed coalition, cannot be considered as having been carried out in compliance with the requirements of the Fundamental Law of Ukraine and the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada," Yushchenko states. \n \nAccording to him, the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of decisions in a manner "that contradicts the principles of European parliamentarism will cast doubt on their legitimacy" and will require him to "apply adequate measures."\n\n"Based on the foregoing, I address a proposal to urgently ensure, in full compliance with the Constitution and the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada, the effective activity of parliament, the resolution of issues regarding the coalition of deputy factions and the submission of proposals regarding a candidate for the position of prime minister, while refraining from adopting ill-considered decisions," the president stated. \n \n
