When the united opposition enters parliament, it will create a special inquiry panel to investigate the actions of the present authorities regarding corruption and political prosecutions, leader of the Front for Change Party Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
"Today not just Yulia Tymoshenko and Yuriy Lutsenko are suffering from political prosecutions. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are suffering from the authorities’ prosecutions. It’s happening with the aim of seizing businesses, removing individual citizens of the political scene or not allowing them to win parliamentary elections in majority districts," Yatseniuk said at the press conference in Ternopil on Wednesday.
He said the united opposition had set the goal of conducting anticorruption inquiries, as well as the investigating those connected to the political prosecution of Ukrainian citizens.
For this purpose, according to Yatseniuk, in the new parliament a united opposition is planning to create a special inquiry panel to investigate abuses of the present power "that are connected with political prosecutions as well as with the illegal privatization of the tens of state-owned facilities, which the circle of Yanukovych obtained, and with the theft of billions while preparing for Euro 2012."
"We want law and order, fair courts and a responsible prosecutor general to be in Ukraine. We want the bodies, which, according to the Constitution, are to check the legality of the actions of every official and press state charges not against political opponents, but against real criminals, to do their job" the Front for Change leader said.
"This is a task for the united opposition, which will be implemented after the formation of the democratic majority in the next parliament."
