The leaders of the opposition factions in parliament have expressed hope that during an unscheduled session of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine people will support the parliament in returning to the Constitution of 2004, which foresees a parliamentary-presidential form of government in the country.
“Our winning formula is based solely on Maidan, on our national self-defense, and on hundreds of thousands of people constantly coming to the buildings of parliament, presidential administration, Prosecutor General’s Office, Security Service of Ukraine, tax office, and every regional administration to say that we are the ones in charge, not them… as people’s wrath is the most dreadful thing you can get,” said Batkivschyna faction leader Arseniy Yatseniuk on Monday during the tenth people’s assembly on Independence Square in Kyiv.
UDAR Party leader Vitali Klitschko urged people to come to Verkhovna Rada on Thursday, in case of an unscheduled session being held, to support the amendments into the Constitution of Ukraine.
“Today I urge you… when the parliament starts working, everyone should go out on the streets to regional administrations with national flags for an hour,” Klitschko said.
According to Svoboda party leader Oleh Tiahnybok, the day when parliament will assemble for an unscheduled session is still undecided, but he urged everyone to be ready to come to the Verkhovna Rada building to support the opposition.
“The parliament will work this week. We don’t know when. We’re all preparing for this day, when the parliament session is announced, [to come to the parliament building] in such a number that will put pressure on this gang, so that we can change the government system in Ukraine,” he said.
