President Zelensky’s office is considering several scenarios for “cutting off” power in Kyiv. Since even the new version of the law “On the capital” still does not solve the “Klitschko problem” and create a mechanism of dual power in the capital, the President’s Office intends to carry out a blitzkrieg and resort to a scheme tested under Viktor Yanukovych to remove former Kyiv mayor Leonid Chernovetsky and his “Young team”, writes “KievVlast“.
Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – May 27, 2021 – Ukraine News
Political scientist Yuriy Romanenko described what the “temporary” removal of Klitschko from the post of the head of the Kyiv City State Administration might look like – due to the decision of the National Security and Defense Council, which will then be legitimized by a presidential decree. In this case, the acting head of the Kyiv City State Administration is appointed by his first deputy Oleksiy Kuleba, a creature of the head of the Office of President Andriy Yermak.
Then Klitschko is going to deprive the Kyiv City Council of influence and raise the issue of changing the secretary of the Kyiv City Council (currently a representative of UDAR, Volodymyr Bondarenko, is in this position).
According to the publication, the position of the secretary of the Kyiv City Council in this situation is predicted by a representative of “European Solidarity”. Positions in Kyiv City Council commissions are also being redistributed.
At the moment, the Servant of the People faction has 12 seats in the Kyiv City Council. Batkivshchyna has the same number of seats, Yednost has two more seats. In “European Solidarity” – 31 votes. As a result, the situational majority may have about 70 votes.
“Each of these factions has its arguments to get a” golden share “. And not to side with the Office of the President, as it may seem at first. And to return to the game, which the mayor in the Kyiv City Council is obsessed with, ”the article reads.
The main task of the Office of the President is for Vitali Klitschko to voluntarily go into the shadows, like the former mayor Leonid Chernovetsky, renouncing both the mayoralty and the leadership of the Kyiv City Administration.
