You're reading: Opposition Bloc to seek Ukrainian Rada re-election, formation of government trusted by people

The Opposition Bloc party intends to seek the re-election of the Ukrainian parliament and the formation of a government truly trusted by the people, Yuriy Boiko, a co-chair of the Opposition Bloc party and head of its faction at the Verkhovna Rada, said at a party congress on Friday.

“We urge the people to consolidate around our progressive program and force political bankrupts to go ahead of schedule. The coalition of war, misfortune and failure must go. They must vacate room for people who know and love their country,” Boiko said.

The Opposition Bloc’s mission is “to return society peace and confidence in its own abilities, overcome the civil conflict, and consolidate the people,” he said.

“We are the only political force consistently defending the policy of peace and an alternative socioeconomic course,” Boiko said.

The Opposition Bloc has a clear action plan, Boiko said.

“It’s necessary to reset the government and re-elect the parliament. A government of national trust must be formed. We are ready to be its foundation,” he said.

Boiko underscored the importance of implementing the Minsk Agreements for peace to settle in Ukraine.

“We need concrete steps to ensure security in the conflict territories and hold elections in line with Ukrainian law there,” he said.

Boiko called for thinking already now how to live after the war is ended.

“In the near future, Ukraine, the European Union and Russia will sit at the negotiating table and talk about Europe’s future. We should become a political force advancing this possibility both on the parliamentary level and through working with our partners. This format will determine the entire European continent’s future,” he said.
