Leader of the Party of Regions, Alexander Efremov said that the current problems reformatting parliamentary coalition, are not discussed, but did not rule out the possibility to extend it to individual MPs. Yushchenko's bloc "Our Ukraine" and Regions Party will gather to build a broad coalition. Today the Party of Regions should not be in opposition, as is most of society in the country. He told reporters on Tuesday on the sidelines of the parliament, commenting on the statement by the head of the Kiev city branch of the party "Our Ukraine" Yuriy Yekhanurov on the possibility of occurrence of the parliamentary majority faction "Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense (NUNS), instead of communists.
"You know, fortunately, the OU-PSD does not solve the issue of forming a coalition alone," - said A. Efremov.
"Therefore, such statements do prematurely. Such ill-considered statements, I think, in general, do not be" - he added. "No one today seriously consulted about reformatting the coalition simply does not. It's provocative statements", - A. Efremov. "We have a coalition, we value the work of the coalition today. You see that quite well it turns out that the coalition becomes relatively large number of MPs, who now agree with the course of the president and government," - said the leader of the Party of Regions.He noted that "the more stable the situation will be, the greater the number of deputies will understand and adhere to the coalition." "Therefore, to create a new version of the coalition is absolutely senseless," - said A. Efremov.
A year ago it seemed impossible, but today, many political analysts in Russia and Ukraine are inclined to believe that the parliamentary majority will form is "blue" and "orange". In Ukraine, there are three powerful political forces, led by Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych and Yulia Tymoshenko. But none of them, I believe, on the upcoming parliamentary elections will not receive an absolute majority.Thus, the coalition "OL - PSD" would preserve the European vector of development of Ukraine and to stabilize relations with Russia.
At the same time, the leader of the Party of Regions does not rule out the possibility of expanding the coalition by joining it new deputies. He noted that the special work in this direction is underway."But I know that there is talk among some groups of deputies on the opportunity today to join the coalition, because they see really that we can work productively on those issues that have, including, and in their regions," - noted Efremov. In clarifying the question of whether they are units or dozens of deputies who are ready to enter into a coalition, Efremov said: "I think that this is not a unit, I think it is much more.
The prospect of early parliamentary elections, while vague, but the possibility of a coalition of Yanukovych and Yushchenko - exhaustion. Now in terms of logic there is no reason to hold early elections. However, can we hope for common sense, when political forces are wall to wall? Nowadays in Ukraine it is impossible to say what will happen tomorrow. But the election will change nothing, because the alignment of forces will actually be the same.
"He threw the country into the abyss of a dirty election campaign, we are even more polarizing Ukraine. President must consider the interests of the country, to find a compromise between the eastern and western elites. Today, still not exhausted the possibility of joining the Party of Regions and Our Ukraine ", - considers Esk Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. According to him, Ukraine "no political culture, that's the main problem."
"Orange coalition" formed once headed by the ex-President Viktor Yushchenko, now risking to remain without real levers of government. But Yanukovych fears of possible changes: a result which began last year, political reform, President of Ukraine may soon be satisfied, mostly representative functions, while the real power can be concentrated in the hands of the head of the Cabinet, which will be an open vote to choose exactly the deputies.
Meanwhile, after a split union of the Yushchenko-Tymoshenko and the global decline of the Ukrainian economy as a result of redistribution of property, "Gasoline" and "product" of crises, the population of the sister republic, voted for the "orange", demoralized. Achieve the Ukrainian economy may be expected, and not without reason, higher gas prices. This means that the budget contribute to the industry - metallurgy and chemical industry - will not pay.
By the way, the data of sociological poll conducted by the Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Studies. Razumkov indicate that about half the population of Ukraine is not against the "return to the USSR." On the question of "if you want to restore the Soviet Union and the socialist system", an affirmative answer was given by 20,4% of the respondents, 28,3% were still "in the USSR, but with the proviso that in modern conditions it is unfortunately impossible. A negative answer to 51,3% of respondents.
