“As an opposition we have our constitutional responsibility. We are obliged to effectively control the authority,” said Mr. Yanukovych in an interview with Russia TV Channel.
“We should also offer alternate decisions which are more effective for a particular economy, social or industry sector,” Interfax-Ukraine cites Mr. Yanukovych.
“Opposition will be not only in parliament. Everything will depend on how the authority works. If it works efficiently we will behave adequately. But if the authority will keep doing what it is doing now our reaction will be different,” he said.
Mr. Yanukovych has stated that the political lustration is a commonplace practice in the authority at all levels.
“Today, many officials are being sacked just because they supported our political force,” he added.
“If we unable to stop it we will organize mass protest actions against political persecution. We will not tolerate discharge of people just because they backed Viktor Yanukovych and his government,” ex-PM pointed out.
