The leader of the Svoboda faction in parliament, Oleh Tiahnybok, has said that all faction members have already written statements of withdrawal from the coalition a long time ago.
“Svoboda wrote statements of withdrawal from the coalition on the
second day after the presidential elections,” he told journalists in
Kyiv on Thursday, July 24.
He said that such statements had been submitted by all 35 faction deputies.
As reported, the European Choice coalition of deputy factions was created on February 27, 2014. It included 250 MPs.
The coalition was formed by the factions of Batkivschyna, UDAR,
Svoboda, the Economic Development group, the Sovereign European Ukraine
group, and other deputies.
The dissolution of the coalition and the failure to form a new
coalition within 30 days will serve as grounds for the president to
dissolve the parliament and hold early parliamentary elections.
