Verkhovna Rada adopts bill on parliamentary opposition at first reading
The Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, has adopted a bill on the parliamentary opposition at first reading.
The initiative to adopt such a bill without debate was put forward by Parliament Speaker and Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov. He explained such a move by the need for a compromise in parliament for the adoption of important laws to overcome the crisis.
During a repeat vote, the bill on the parliamentary opposition, authored by Regions Party MPs Vadym Novinsky, Yevhen Heller and Valeriy Pysarenko, was supported by 233 lawmakers.
The bill states that the need to adopt the document is stipulated by the reinstated effect of certain provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine of 2004, in connection with the adoption of the law on resuming the effect of certain provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine of February 21, 2014, which foresees a parliamentary-presidential form of government in Ukraine, including the increasing influence of parliament on the formation and activities of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
