Editor’s note: In this week’s Vox Populi, we’re asking Kyivans what question they would ask President Petro Poroshenko.
Olha Kovalchuk, translator
“I would ask him when he’s going to resign.”
Aliona Shlapak, student
“I don’t know what to ask. Maybe, why do we have so few parks? I don’t know really.”
Maksym Lungulenko, student
“Let me see… Why do we have businessmen in power, and not politicians?”
Dmytro Havrylyuk, museum worker
“I would ask him what his favorite book is.”
Hanna Petrova, retiree
“When will everything be alright? I’d ask a lot, but if I had to speak directly… I don’t even know. When there will be peace, when will life be good for us?”
Eugeniia Bilohub, student
“To tell the truth, I don’t know about our president at all and I don’t know anything about politics… I’m satisfied with everything. I’d definitely ask him what he feels about our country, what his attitude towards our people is and what he does for them.”
Yaroslav Yaroshenko, unemployed
“Just wishes come to my mind … You know, there are a lot of questions, but which one can you choose? Does he know the limits of the public’s patience?”
