Will it or will it not be implemented? Do you think anybody cares about these issues in politics? Not at all. It is just that in each bout you need to shout something when you attack - sometimes even "Give us the button!" Well, it looks stupid, but in accordance with the procedure - like anyone in this country still cares about the procedure. The main thing is this - blocking the Parliament is, in fact, the only active action, which it can and actually must do in protest at any cost. 12 870 99

But even with these decisions, it is already clear that the current parliament cannot be considered tame.

AZAROV. THE ONE AND ONLY. AZAROV. THE ONE AND ONLY. At one moment he advises people against smoking, the next he recalls the days when he was cheerful and resourceful, and then he becomes extremely cheerful and directly states: "Everything is good in the country and the prospects for next year are good." Not a Prime Minister but some kind of animator. However, he is probably ex - Prime Minister. Azarov is no longer on the same wave with Viktor Yanukovych. 12 050 67
