President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on people's deputies to stop using the Verkhovna Rada's rostrum for personal PR and turning the Ukrainian Parliament into a platform for the election campaigns of the old parties.
"Despite the fact that your activity has largely ruined the legitimacy of the Verkhovna Rada, you have a chance to restore society's trust in representative democracy at least slightly. To do this, you just need to finally start voting for the reformist bills developed by Ukrainian and western experts. They haven’t been considered for years, although citizens and the country are waiting for them. You just shouldn’t spoil them with your traditional corrupt tricks," the President noted on his Facebook page.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also expressed his conviction that the Central Election Commission would fulfill its functional duties in organizing the electoral process.
