“It is absolutely inappropriate for our government to take any kind of a holiday in the light of the current situation in the country. They do not deserve it, since all they do is create a semblance of working on reforms, rather than actually getting things done.”
Lina Mokhach, social media manager
“I think it is high time to work, not rest. The country is in a war, high utility prices are a big issue, and the international institutions that have loaned us money are waiting for the results of the government’s work, of which there are none. Moreover, I don’t think that any regular Ukrainians can afford such a long vacation. So, I’d say that our deputies could take a two-week break at the most.”
Oleksandr Kozyar, political activist
“I don’t think that our government can afford to take a break at this time, especially for seven weeks. We’ve got a lot of economic and social problems that need to be fixed and a number of amendments to the Constitution that are to be passed.”
Volodymyr Komorniy, builder
“I don’t think that our lawmakers work a lot in the first place, so why would they need a rest? Our country has so many unresolved problems, the problems that are being hushed up or neglected. They should stop talking and get to action rather than go on holiday.”
