M. Tomenko also noticed that except ideological anti-Ukrainian world-view of many politicians, "it becomes a norm to appoint to the state management bodies people that do not know the official language of the state and in certain cases do not have even the higher education." "Latest events in the Parliament proved the fact such principles of personnel policy may be applied to the Verkhovna Rada, since we will make everything possible for the Parliament to be preserved as at least one territory pf democracy and law", - the Deputy Chairman emphasised.
M. Tomenko is convinced that the issue on division of the offices in the committees is less important than "the issue on compliance with law and interests of the opposition that represents actually the half of Ukraine", he stated.
At the same time m. Tomenko excused for the fact the Parliament is working on Good Friday in such regime. "Though it is easier to go through conflicts during one Good Friday than suffer lack of democracy during next five years", he declared.
