“The rating of the President, as the research shows, is rather “good”: it is composed mainly of the voices of those, who was appointed by him and have power, their relatives and close friends, who are fully satisfied with the situation in Ukraine, and who are interested in the second term of “their” President. And the President himself is currently actively working on his rating and has started to prepare for the presidential election”, – said the Deputy Head of the European party of Ukraine, the Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Party Valeriy Klochok on one of the TV channels.
“Poroshenko has a constitutional right to run for a second term. Guided by this, he is conducting a very successful propaganda campaign: television channels, newspapers and online journals constantly report on President’s active work, even in those areas that do not fall within his competence. It is strange when, instead of the Prime Minister of Ukraine, who has the corresponding powers, the President is in charge of the pension reform in the country and makes loud statements about it”, – said Valeriy Klochok.
“It is quite clear that this is just another PR of the President, not in the best sense of the word. Using the positive image of the Prime Minister Groisman that has been formed in society for the past year, Poroshenko is gaining points. And the Central Election Commission, which is under the President`s control, can always count votes correctly. Moreover, the turnout in the elections will be within 40-43 per cent. Therefore, the second term of President Poroshenko looks quite real”, – he said.
