Vote personally!

On the 5^th of February the second session of the Verkhovna Rada of the seventh convocation was not opened.  Opposition factions blocked the presidium in the session hall. On the walls they hang the posters “Deputy, come to work! Vote personally!”, “No to those who push the bottom”. Dress-code of members of “Udar” faction differed notably from the style of clothes of colleagues from “Batkivshchyna” and “Svoboda”. “Udar” members put on red jackets with party attributes on one side, and on the other side – “Vote personally!”.

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Rybak marked: in order to consider the bills and draft regulations on the introduction of the voting system which will provide personal deputy will expression, it is necessary to open the session after all. Otherwise where will they be considered? Answering the question about the possibility of the solution of the issue by force, the Chairman of the legislative body said that it cannot be done in the parliament of the European state.
