Opposition actively collecting signatures for dismissal of prime minister, speaker, prosecutor general

The opposition has already collected and tabled in parliament signatures for the dismissal of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, Batkivschyna faction leader Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.

"The signatures for the dismissal of the Ukrainian prime minister have already been submitted and registered, and a resolution will be considered," he said at a briefing on Tuesday.

"The signatures for the dismissal of Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak were initiated by the faction of the UDAR Party. The entire Batkivschyna faction gave their signatures and submitted them to the UDAR faction," Yatseniuk said.

"The signatures for the dismissal of Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka were submitted for registration by the Verkhovna Rada's secretariat in order to register a resolution on the dismissal of the prosecutor general. But the Verkhovna Rada's secretariat rejected the registration, explaining that the signatures of MPs were not collected on the signature sheets stamped by the Verkhovna Rada's secretariat, and they asked us to collect the signatures again. We'll do it," he added.
