“Today the judicial power was actually captured by the President. And now all decisions on behalf of Ukraine will be accepted on behalf of Poroshenko”, – said the leader of the European Party of Ukraine Mykola Katerynchuk, commenting on the entry into force of the Law of Ukraine “On the High Council of Justice” on one of the channels today.
“It is clear that the President will create a fake competition commission, which will elect members of the High Council of Justice from the team of Poroshenko. And after that the Council will elect obedient judges, including the composition of the Supreme Court of Ukraine, paying no attention neither to the position of Ukrainian people, nor the Venice Commission”, – said Mykola Katerynchuk.
“The situation will be very bad, because an independent judiciary in Ukraine will diasappear. The balance between the judicial and other branches of power will be violated. This will ultimately make the President Poroshenko the most powerful President in the history of independent Ukraine. All the powers will focus in his hands. And redistribution of property will be made not only by the controlled prosecution, but also by the court”, – he said.
