MPs from the Regions Party faction are leaving the parliament on Friday.

"Today there will be nothing," head of the parliamentary regulation committee Volodymyr Makeyenko (the Regions Party) told journalists.

Makeyenko said that next week the MPs would work in the districts.

According to the schedule, plenary sessions in the parliament are to begin on April 16.

As reported, on Friday morning MPs from the opposition blocked the rostrum and presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The opposition members hung posters with the requirements "Legal elections in Kyiv are to be held!" "The Cabinet of Yanukovych-Azarov should resign!" "The pension reform is to be immediately abolished!"

"I do not see any prospects [for work] due to the slogans a few dozen people hung in the hall," leader of the Regions Party faction Oleksandr Yefremov said, asked whether the parliament will start work on Friday.
