The Ukrainian Parliament supported in the first reading the draft state budget for 2007. 256 deputies voted for it, including 8 BYuT members and 11 "Our Ukraine" members. Before that, BYuT called on deputies not to vote for the budget. A representative of "Our Ukraine," Oleksiy Kucherenko, also stated that the faction would not support this draft.\n\n"Our Ukraine" intends to cancel through the Constitutional Court the budget articles which, in the faction's opinion, narrow social protection for Ukrainians.\n\n"First Vice Prime Minister Mykola Azarov must understand that if he does not remove these articles from the budget, we will appeal to the Constitutional Court and cancel them through court proceedings, and perhaps we will cancel the entire budget as unconstitutional," the press service of the "Our Ukraine" bloc quotes deputy Mykola Katerynchuk.\n\nIn particular, he noted that this concerns attempts to "reduce pensions for working pensioners."\n\nKaterynchuk also emphasized that the budget "must be based exclusively on current tax legislation, and not introduce changes to it."
