Presidium
of the political council of the "Our Ukraine" party approved the
decision of the OU-PSD bloc of withdrawal from the coalition and
repudiated probable joining the new parliamentary majority if the Party
of Regions joined it too. There is a declaration of the bloc printed at
the official site of the bloc and signed by Vyacheslav Kyrylenko. Here
is the full text of the Declaration.
«Our Ukraine» expresses outrage of the actions of BYuT, which,
joining the corridor conspiracy with anti-Ukrainian forces that is the
Party of Regions and communists, created new ProKremlin majority in
Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, BYUT left without any answer repeated public appeals
of «Our Ukraine» to the partners of coalition to regain consciousness
and conduct a meeting of the Coalition for harmonization of positions.
Forward the entire country on Septembers 2 , an extremely dangerous
scenario of destabilization of situation is begun in Ukraine.
Renouncing to condemn Russian aggression against Georgia and support
territorial integrity of this country, BYUT jointly with the communists
and members of the party of Regions not only consciously drives a wedge
between Ukraine and other civilized world but also creates necessary
perquisites for encroachments upon territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Despite Agreement about creation of coalition of democratic forces
and official position of the «Our Ukraine» the newly created majority
composed of the BYUT, Party of regions and communists voted for a
number of laws, directed to removal from power of publicly elected
President of Ukraine and passing all the power to the anti-Ukrainian
parliamentary oligarchy.
Overcoming the veto of the President on the Law of Ukraine "On the
temporal commissions of inquiry, special temporal commission of inquiry
and temporal special commissions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine", the
Party of Regions, BYUT and communists opened the gate to the
impeachment of the Head of the state, and with a whole range of other
laws they limited the right of the President to appeal against
governmental decisions.
The amendments to Laws «On the Cabinet Ukraine» and «On Security
Service of Ukraine (SBU)» accepted by the newly created majority are
yet more dangerous, due to them the Block of Yulia Tymoshenko, Party of
Regions and communists want despite Constitution to deprive President
of possibility to influence on appointment of the Ministers of Defence
and Foreign Affairs, and the head of the SBU. Leaders of these key
departments of defence of the state system and safety of Ukraine should
be appointed by new ProKremlin majority in the parliament, according to
the plan of conspirators.
In essence, anti-constitutional, anti-Ukrainian dictatorship of the Prime Minister has been born in our eyes.
«Our Ukraine» made enormous efforts for creation of the democratic
coalition. Due to our voices under condition of reckless resistance of
the opposition Tymoshenko became a Prime Minister, the coalition
government had been set up and a whole large range of determining laws
had been approved.
Despite untruthful prosecutions and unfriendly actions, we made all
possible efforts for saving the present coalition, regardless of
numerous and groundless violations of the coalition agreement by BYUT.
Regardless of serious disagreements in economic, humanitarian,
foreign-policy and other questions, we tried to save democratic
coalition at any cost.
But by the present plot the Block of Yulia Tymoshenko openly follows
the road of total destruction of the democratic coalition and creates
new anti-Ukrainian majority together with the Party of Regions and
communists.
People's Union «Our Ukraine» believes that under such circumstances
our representatives in the government and parliament can not be false
front of participants of the anti-Ukrainian plot.
We support the decision of the faction of the «Our Ukraine -
People's Self-Defence» Block about their exit from the coalition and
consider that BYUT must bear all the responsibility for the
consequences of destruction of the coalition.
At the same time «Our Ukraine» confirms impossibility of our joining
the coalition together with the Party of Regions and communists and is
ready to work as a part of the parliamentary opposition.
We shall protect the Ukrainian state system and democracy, and we
are sure that we shaill be supported by millions of our compatriots".
