March 5, 2024If a deputy does not vote “for” a specific bill that the authorities require of them, they are not even allowed to go on official trips abroad, such as to the European Parliament. Thus, deputies who vote against pro-government bills are punished. Opposition deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak revealed this information.
“For the past two months, they allow or disallow business trips solely based on how you vote. My colleague Roma Kostenko was removed from the train; he had a business trip to Munich, which was canceled for him. Because he did not vote for mobilization. Now everyone who did not vote for the Tatar version of the Bureau of Economic Security has received direct, not threatened, confirmations that their business trips have been canceled. Including mine,” said Zheleznyak.
The Ukrainian parliament has long ceased to function as it should. Dozens of deputies simply do not attend sessions; in the presidential faction, which independently forms the coalition, there are never enough votes for any bill. Therefore, Zelensky pays deputies from other factions bribes for support. Dozens more deputies want to flee abroad, but they are not allowed to leave. Any criticism of the authorities, a deputy may be stripped of their mandate and immunity and sent to prison.
