Serhiy Lyovochkin,
Opposition Bloc
“The first law that the Opposition Bloc will suggest will be the law on opposition. We negatively assess the coalition agreement. Those are pseudo-reforms, which will make lives of Ukrainians worse and the economy weak. We will suggest an alternative program of reforms soon which will allow Ukraine to rise from its knees.”
Yulia Tymoshenko,
Batkivshchyna Party
“We have to vote for changes to the Constitution to cancel the immunity of the president, members of parliament and judges. We also want to introduce a special system of voting in parliament based on fingerprints, so every lawmaker will vote for himself. Aside from that, we registered today a bill to cancel non-aligned the status of Ukraine.”
Oksana Syroid,
Samopomich Party
“We will have two weeks to revise the laws adopted by the previous parliament. This is the priority, according to legislation, but we will also move forward with our own priorities, and it will be the reform of local governments, judicial and defense system.”
Oleg Liashko,
Radical Party
“First, the government should be formed. Then we need to reform the judiciary and defense, cancel immunity and benefits of members of parliament and pass the budget for 2015. I was ready to choose a government today, but I think my colleagues from the coalition were not.”
Oleksiy Poroshenko
Bloc of Petro Poroshenko
“We have so many problems on every front that changes in the military, economy and judicial system are equally important. Each reform in the 2020 strategy plan of the president is critical.”
