The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and the Socialist Party propose to remove the agreements on the positions of prime minister and chairman of the Verkhovna Rada from the framework of the coalition agreement.
This was reported to UNIAN in an interview on Sunday by the first secretary of the SPU political council, Yosyp Vinsky.
According to him, on Saturday evening BYuT and the SPU completed the process of agreeing on all documents related to the signing of the coalition agreement. "I think that on Monday we will initial it," Vinsky said.
He also reported that these two political forces are awaiting a version of the coalition agreement from "Our Ukraine," after which the process of coordination will begin.
At the same time, he did not rule out that "Our Ukraine" may agree to the version of the agreement proposed by the SPU and BYuT, taking it as a basis.
Vinsky noted that in the version proposed by BYuT and the SPU, the distribution of leadership positions is envisaged according to the same principles as in the memorandum — "a formula depending on the number of (parliamentary) mandates in turn."
At the same time, he emphasized that the positions of prime minister and speaker are proposed to be removed from beyond this principle of distribution of positions.
He stressed that the socialists will try to resolve the issue of which political forces should own these two positions by seeking a compromise.
When asked whether the SPU would insist that the leader of this party, Oleksandr Moroz, head the parliament, Vinsky replied: "If we have expressed this position, then we will insist, and we will seek a compromise."
He emphasized that "Our Ukraine's" proposal for Moroz as prime minister was not considered.
Vinsky stated that no one had officially approached the SPU with such a proposal, and the socialists' proposal for the speaker's chair for Moroz is official in nature.
He stressed that the socialists have a clear position — to support Yulia Tymoshenko for the position of prime minister.
