Justice Ministry, MPs working on NSDC decision to ban number of parties – Korniyenko
The Ministry of Justice and the Parliament are working to implement a National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) decision to ban a number of parties, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Korniyenko has said.
"So far, according to the law, it looks like it should be a lawsuit and a trail, but perhaps we will see some other configuration from the Ministry of Justice," Korniyenko said on the air of the national telethon on Sunday night.
According to him, in Ukraine "a mechanism is not very carefully built," according to which members from a banned party automatically cease to be MPs.
"But we are working to ensure that the members from the banned party [Opposition Platform - For Life] feel, live and, perhaps, draw their own organizational conclusions," Korniyenko said.
He also stressed that it is necessary to resolve the issue of the further fate of the members of local councils from banned parties.
"We are preparing a relevant bill with our colleagues, which would allow recalling such MPs on popular initiative," the first deputy speaker summed up.
