Reinforced concrete! The law on oligarchs will be canceled – Tymoshenko’s forecast

The leader of the Batkivshchyna parliamentary faction, Yulia Tymoshenko, believes that Law No. 5599, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on September 23, will be easily canceled by the Constitutional Court.

This opinion was expressed by the politician on the air of the talk show “Freedom of Speech by Savik Shuster” on the TV channel “Ukraine”.

“Since the procedure was violated … not just violated, it was horribly violated, rude! now any of the deputies can collect signatures, can appeal to the Constitutional Court – a concrete argument to repeal this law, adopted in an unconstitutional way. I guarantee you that it will be canceled. Even the bad one “, – said Yulia Vladimirovna live.

Controversial issue

Earlier in Telegram, the chairman of the Golos faction, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, said that the Verkhovna Rada would have to re-vote bill No. 5599 on oligarchs, which was adopted in the second reading. This must be done because unnecessary amendments were adopted – now there are different editions in the law on recognizing a person as an oligarch.

At the same time, the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov believes that the procedure used in the parliament when voting for this bill cannot be called a normal approach. Nevertheless, the decision of the Verkhovna Rada has been made, and the norm of the law is already coming into effect, which stipulates that the NAPK should deal with this.

What’s in the law

• On September 23, the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 5599 on oligarchs in the second reading. The criteria for who will fall under this status have been determined, a register of oligarchs will appear and it will be necessary to declare contacts with them. The corresponding document was supported by 279 people’s deputies.
• The NSDC is entrusted with the function of determining who can be considered an oligarch. Potential oligarchs will be summoned to a meeting of the NSDC, and members of the NSDC will be obliged to argue why they classify a person as an oligarch.
• The register of oligarchs will also be on the NSDC. It will also contain information about legal entities, the beneficiary of which is the oligarch, and about the people and parties, for the political activities of which the oligarch gave money.
• Oligarchs will not be allowed to make contributions (directly or through other people) in support of political parties. Fund any political campaign, rallies or demonstrations with political demands and slogans.
• Oligarchs cannot be a buyer (beneficiary of a buyer) in the process of privatizing large privatization objects.
• If an official or deputy contacted the oligarch or his representative, he will have to submit a declaration of such a contact the very next day (this even applies to the President of Ukraine).
