Victor Yushchenko believes the Verkhovna Rada cannot
and must not make decisions contradicting the principles of the
European parliamentary culture, and promises to “question their
legitimacy” and act appropriately, President's press office reported.
In his letter to the Verkhovna Rada, the Head of
State said “the withdrawal of some deputies from the Coalition of
Democratic Forces, which resulted in its disintegration, is
inconsistent with the Constitution and the Verkhovna Rada procedure
rules.” Thus the circumstances in which a new coalition was formed and
particularly its proposals are illegal, he said.
“The situation in the parliament makes the whole
society worried and impedes the formation of a new government to
resolve pressing social and economic problems of Ukraine,” he wrote.
Yushchenko demands that MPs should immediately
resume “effective work of parliament, settle the coalition issue
legally and nominate premier but try not to make hasty decisions.”
