“Mono-majority only on paper”: how Bankova is losing control of the Rada

The situation in the Verkhovna Rada indicates not just parliamentary unrest, but a full-fledged crisis of the entire power vertical. Since 2019, the parliament has been under the strict control of the Office of the President, but now this governance model has ceased to work effectively due to internal contradictions and corruption scandals.

This was stated on the air of “Pryamoy” by Oleg Synyutka, a member of parliament from “European Solidarity”, while analyzing the work of the highest legislative body.

“The single majority has long remained only on paper. Initially, it was replenished with former members of the OPZH, but today even these recruits are not enough to ensure 226 votes,” the people’s deputy emphasized.

He is convinced that the country needs radical steps, namely the formation of a new majority of patriotic and professional forces. This would allow for prompt decisions to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and accelerate the movement towards European structures.

In addition to renewing the parliament, Synyutka pointed out the need to create a professional government, since many deputies are dissatisfied with the work of the current heads of ministries. Such a reformatting will help to obtain an effective government capable of responding to the challenges of the time, the MP believes.

As a reminder, parliamentary activity has been threatened by an acute crisis within the parliamentary body and a chronic lack of votes for decision-making. The next plenary session was canceled, which, according to political scientist Volodymyr Tsybulko, indicates deep internal contradictions among the elected representatives.

In addition, the crisis in the Ukrainian parliament is deepening due to ambiguous statements by the state’s top leadership regarding sending to the front those deputies who plan to resign early. Such rhetoric has sparked a wave of discussions about the legality and ethics of such steps within the walls of the Verkhovna Rada.

The current situation in the Ukrainian parliament also threatens the pace of rapprochement with the European Union due to internal disorganization. Despite the commitment to adopt dozens of legislative acts in various clusters, work has effectively stopped, and the lack of votes and ignoring minority opinions create conditions for deep stagnation.

According to Ivan Us, a candidate of economic sciences, the parliamentary crisis directly affects the fulfillment of obligations to international creditors. The delay in voting for the IMF “beacons” puts the social sphere, including pension payments, under attack .
