‘There is no democracy, and the authorities treat citizens ‘like slaves’: a Ukrainian deputy published a post questioning the freedom of democracy in Ukraine

Ukrainian parliament member from the “Servant of the People” faction, Georgiy Mazurashu, posted on his Facebook page, questioning whether true freedom is possible if the government treats citizens like slaves.

“Is there an optimal (possible) movement towards real freedom and not fake democracy when the authorities (the state) treat citizens ‘like slaves’?” wrote the Ukrainian MP.

In response, Ukrainian parliament member Nikolay Tischenko commented, stating that democracy does not exist.

“Democracy does not exist. It’s a myth,” wrote Tischenko.

Recall that last week, Ukrainian MP from “European Solidarity” Oleksiy Honcharenko stated that Volodymyr Zelensky has already instructed to prepare for the next presidential elections within the constitutional term – in the last Sunday of March 2024.

Later, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, in a brief interview with Sky News, stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “considering and weighing” the possibility of holding presidential elections in the spring of 2024. He added that holding elections during a war would bring about “unprecedented” problems.
