Social policy minister calls for reduction of benefits for MPs

The benefits of MPs should be reduced, Ukrainian Social Policy Minister Natalia Korolevska has said.

"Nobody in a European country has a benefit package like that of our MPs," she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.

She said that the reduction of benefits for MPs would be a good step for social justice in the country.

She said that such a reduction was timely, as over UAH 60 million in the state budget is envisaged for various parliamentary allowances and benefits.
