Mykola Tomenko: I support a United Anti-Recessionary Coalition and object to a Broad one
In the interview to the "TSN" internet-edition, Mykola Tomenko, Vice-Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, stated that he "supports a united, not a broad, coalition".
M.Tomenko commented upon the essential difference between the said concepts. Thus, a broad coalition is "a fantastic and unimplemented project of the recent years".
"I do not uphold the said project. Moreover: I do not believe that a broad coalition or a parliamentary consolidation of the BYuT and the Party of Regions can settle serious problems that Ukraine faces at present", - stressed M.Tomenko.
"Under the term of a united coalition I mean all the parliamentary Factions that are ideologically close, especially, concerning socio-economic policy. Such Factions include the BYuT, Our Ukraine-People´s Self-Defence, the Lytvyn Bloc and the Party of Regions", - stated the Vice-Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
