Draft bill #9081-2 of March 20, 2023

Sponsor: Anton Yatsenko, independent.

Who is affected: the President, MPs, local councilors, community heads, and voters.

Summary of the bill: the President, MPs, community heads, and local councilors who held their positions and were nominated by a political party that worked on the territory of Ukraine since independence when martial law was declared, will not be eligible to serve in government bodies.

What’s wrong: according to the author of the bill, all politicians and political parties are responsible for the Russian war against Ukraine. This “argument”, though, should be justified and cannot be used to restrict the rights of the president, MPs, local councilors, and community heads.

Alternative solution: the bill should be withdrawn.
