Our Ukraine – People's Self-Defense Bloc leader Yuriy Lutsenko believes that the bloc members who entered the parliament and do not agree to the principles of forming a coalition with BYuT, which had been announced long before the early election, should vacate their seats at once.
He stated this in his interview to Korrespondent magazine, issued this Saturday.
“If Yuriy Ivanovych (Yekhanurov) or whoever does not like such a format of parliamentary majority, resulting from the agreement on the formation of election bloc that made an MP of him, and if he believes it to be a mistake, he is free to vacate his seat and then start criticizing us as much as he chooses. This is the only right way,” Mr. Lutsenko states.
NU-NS leader also said that the Party of Regions will not attempt to interfere with the formation of a new parliament.
“I think that the Party of Regions has broad experience in being in the opposition and will therefore choose this way of influence. If PRU is a responsible nationwide political force, which is looking into the future, it will agree to such terms. For it will secure its comeback into the government,” Mr. Lutsenko said.
As the BYuT leader Yulia Tymoshenko stated, President Viktor Yushchenko was supposed to receive an initialed coalition agreement concluded between BYuT and NU-NS on Saturday.
However, as of Saturday 18.30 there was no official information that the President’s Secretariat had received this document.
