The voting by the Verkhovna Rada for the resignation of the government is regarded by the Civic Bloc "PORA-PRP" "as an irresponsible decision of parliament that has nothing in common with national interests and is the highest manifestation of political egoism." This is stated in a Statement made public today at a press conference of the bloc's leaders in Kyiv.
The press conference was attended by the head of the election campaign of the Civic Bloc "PORA – PRP," deputy chairman of the "Reforms and Order" party Ihor Hryniv, chairman of the bloc's Political Council, leader of the Civic Party "PORA" Vladyslav Kaskiv, and deputy head of the bloc's election headquarters Markiyan Lubkivskyi.
The members of the bloc consider "premier ambitions of certain politicians" to be the motive behind parliament's decision on the government's resignation. "This is how only irresponsible, unprincipled and idea-less politicians behave," the Statement says.
"The unnatural union of yesterday's revolutionaries with outright enemies of democracy, just like the memorandum with Yanukovych, again opens the door for yesterday's regime. Such a threat may arise in the event of the formation of a coalition government with the 'former ones,' both now and after the elections," the document says. "Therefore the Civic Bloc 'PORA-PRP'... demands that all democratic forces immediately undertake an obligation before society regarding the formation of a parliamentary majority based on the results of the upcoming elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine."
The members of the bloc are convinced that "this composition of the VRU has no moral right to exist."
