The deputies of the Servant of the People faction can appeal to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to hold an extraordinary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, which will consider the bills on the Constitutional Court.
The Servants of the People faction can ask the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to initiate an extraordinary meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, in which parliamentarians will consider bills on the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. On November 16 at a meeting of the conciliatory council of the leaders of factions and groups, the deputy head of the faction Alexander Kornienko reported on this, the correspondent of the publication “GORDON” reports.
“As for the UCC bills, etc. And with the active work of this task force we have the potential for an extraordinary meeting initiated by the president. Let’s go to him. For example, a meeting only on these bills, then it can be done quickly, ”he said.
Verkhovna Rada Chairman Dmitry Razumkov joined the Council meeting on video communication and proposed creating a working group to prepare a compromise solution to overcome the constitutional crisis. Such a group, according to Razumkov, should develop the necessary legislative initiatives.
“I am sure that it is necessary to move to the second stage, to create a working group, which has already begun to work on the legislative initiatives that we have planned.” […] We cannot “take the position of an ostrich” and pretend that this problem will be solved without us, “he said.
He added that the bill №4304 on the renewal of the electronic declaration is still relevant.
On October 27, 2020, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine canceled some of the provisions of the anti-corruption laws and indicated that the establishment of criminal responsibility for declaring deliberately inaccurate data, as well as the deliberate failure to present statements, is an excessive punishment for committing such crimes.
In connection with the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on October 28, the NAPC closed access to the registry of electronic returns and stopped its verification, storage and publication. The head of the agency, Alexander Novikov, called the KSU decision “a crushing defeat for anti-corruption reform.”
KSU chief Alexander Tupitskiy said that NAPK especially “dispersed the situation”, KSU judge Igor Slidenko said the court’s decision did not foresee the need to close the registry.
On October 29, after the meeting of the Security and National Defense Council, in compliance with the order of the Cabinet of Ministers, NAPK opened access to the registry of electronic declarations.
On the same day, Zelensky registered a bill in the Verkhovna Rada, proposing to recognize the Constitutional Court’s decision as illegal, deprive the entire composition of the court and appoint a new one, and ensure the continuity of anti-corruption legislation. Tupitsky said that this bill has signs of a constitutional coup and contradicts two articles of the Constitution of Ukraine. He claims that a change in the composition of the KSU may lead to a violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Nor did he rule out that various provocations could be carried out against him, for example, a Russian passport or money could be planted.
On November 3, the Rada called for the resignation of 11 judges of the Constitutional Court, who voted for the abolition of some of the anti-corruption regulations. On November 4, 226 popular deputies signed and submitted a statement to the Constitutional Court urging the judges to resign voluntarily.
