Poroshenko hopes Verkhovna Rada has spirit enough to review Law on Foreign Currency Loan Restructuring
The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko hopes that the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) will review the Resolution on the Law on Foreign Currency Loan Restructuring, President Petro Poroshenko Press Office reports referring to Poroshenko interview to 1 + 1 TV Channel.
«I hope that there will be enough strong forces in the Verkhovna Rada to put right the wrongs of the Parliament’s past, mildly speaking. If the political spirit of the Verkhovna Rada is not enough, I will protect Ukraine,» he said.
As to the President, he has not received the Law adopted by the Verkhovna Rada yet for signing. As to the him, the Law shall be considered by the Procedural Committee of the Verkhovna Rada since many MPs have filed Statements indicating that their voting cards were used in their absence.
As to the report, Poroshenko emphasized that the MPs have taken such decision solely for populist reasons. "They wanted to please people by making an absolutely irresponsible decision. The feedback of people whose applause they were expecting was exactly the opposite and read: «You are irresponsible, you are the populists, you pushed the country into the abyss,» the President said adding that to fulfill at least first provisions of this Law, the country has to raise US$710 milliard somewhere - what exceeds the Ukrainian gold and foreign-exchange reserves.
As to the President, to implement this Law means to leave the country without a banking system whatsoever as banks do not have such funs, and as a matter of fact, to plunge the country into chaos.
