Kateryna Gorobey, programmer:
“I’m not pleased with the work of our lawmakers; but the resignation of the government could lead to new elections, and it’s probably not the time for this. It’s unclear what would happen after a government resignation. We could elect a government that is even worse.”
Anton Sadovyi, student:
“Actually I think it’s counterproductive, because reputable members of the government repeatedly expressed their view that the government is not effective enough, especially Yatsenyuk. He prevents reforms, instead of making them. While heading the government, he prevents it from working at full capacity. So I think it’s necessary to replace him while he still has some of his reputation left.”
Yuri Fediv, professor:
“It’s very unpleasant. I expected something good from parliament – I’d hoped that the deputies would come to a mutual understanding and the government would resign, because that’s what’s needed. We can talk for a long time about whether (Prime Minister Arseniy) Yatsenyuk is good or bad, but if 70 percent of the population is against him, he should go. It would have been good if he’d resigned of his own accord, so there would be no third Maidan.”
Vladimir Makarov, builder:
“I’m not interested in politics at all. I’ve been disappointed in every government, and stopped paying attention to them. Everything we see happening in the parliament … it’s like a show for the public, and in reality all of the scripts have long been thought out. I think it’s all just a fiction.”
