Yuri Klochkovskiy, the President’s representative in the Parliament, is convinced that the Constitutional Court may easily prove that officials have no rights to ignore decrees issued by the President.
The Cabinet of Ministers has returned 7 President’s decrees to the Secretariat of the President wishing to test Yushchenko’s power or weakness. It’s the first step in a war, launched to clear up what authorities the President is ready to cede. “Yushchenko is not interested in the war yet he will not tolerate the similar deeds,” Klochkovskiy marks.
He is strongly against sharing of the authority of the President and the Prime Minister, saying:
“I don’t know what specific authority of the Prime Minister the Fundamental Law stipulates. The PM has an authority, yet not the Constitutional one. There exist none of the laws regulating the activity of the Cabinet of Ministers and the PM as well.”
Making comments on Yanukovych’s scandalous statement in Brussels regarding NATO, the President’s representative recalled that it’s the President but not the PM who was entitled to run the foreign policy.
“What happened in Brussels was carrying-out of neither the President’s decision, nor the Law on the National Security. That is, the PM acted without the Cabinet’s or the President’s approval and in spite of the Ukrainian law,” Klochkovskiy underlines.
