The Constitutional Court of Ukraine declared that the transfer of the decision before the official publication is a violation of the law.
The Constitutional Court demanded an explanation from the presidential representative From Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at KSU Fedor Venislavsky due to his statement that the Office of the President decided to recognize a number of unconstitutional provisions of the anti-corruption legislation prior to their official publication on the court’s website. This was announced on November 12 by the department’s press service.
The court noted that the transfer of the decision before the official publication is a violation of the law.
“Venislavsky visits to the Constitutional Court have been recorded, which are not related to the implementation of presidential representation in the Constitutional Court, his communication with individual judges may indicate an illegal influence on them to block the consideration of the cases, which it is categorically unacceptable, “says the message.
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 liability for declaring deliberately inaccurate data, as well as the deliberate failure to provide 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. Agency chief Alexander Novikov called the KSU’s decision “a crushing defeat for anti-corruption reform.”
KSU chief Alexander Tupitskiy said that the 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 in the Verkhovna Rada a bill that proposes to recognize the Constitutional Court’s decision as illegal, deprive the entire composition of the court and appoint a new one, as well as ensuring 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 the 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 him.
On November 3, the Rada called for the resignation of 11 judges of the Constitutional Court, who voted for the abolition of some anti-corruption regulations. On November 4, 226 popular deputies signed and presented a statement to the Constitutional Court urging the judges to voluntarily resign.
