 The so-called “petition” for the resignation of the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee, Secretary of the National Council for Reconstruction Danylo Hetmantsev has nothing to do with an objective opinion poll. Most likely, the letter was registered in order to discredit the chairman of the Tax Committee of the Verkhovna Rada. This opinion was expressed in a comment to UNN by lawyer Rostislav Kravets.

Quote

“Collecting signatures through a form on Google Drive cannot be considered objective. Because, first, it is impossible to identify the reality of individuals in this way. And secondly, the reality of the vote cannot be verified. After all, anyone can register under any name.

Such a vote may show the attitude of the person who registered it to the Hetmantsev. Or her attempt to prepare a kind of public opinion that, say, there are many people who are ready to vote against him (Hetmantseva – ed.) “, – says Kravets.

It is another matter when it comes to petitions registered on the website of the President, the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers, the lawyer continued.

“That is, on those resources where there is a clear identification of persons. Although there may be problems.

For example, during the vote for the establishment of the NABU Public Oversight Board, there were doubts about the objectivity of the collection of signatures. Even the voting results were canceled.

Thus, electronic voting does not have a safeguard against fraud. So, you can find out the real public opinion with the help of a real poll, or direct voting in the Verkhovna Rada. It is clear how certain people’s deputies treat their colleagues, ”Kravets explained.

At the same time, investigative journalists, united under the slogan “Who benefits from this?”, Decided to find out whether there is at least some moderation of subscribers to avoid the so-called “bot farm”.

To do this, they registered more than 10 non-existent companies , including OCHE (translated from Italian – Geese, with which Mr. Hetmantsev is now actively associated because of his phrase about geese) – number 17429. It turned out that no verification of the reality of companies – No. Therefore, all bots, including OCHE, are currently on the list of those who support Mr. Hetmantsev’s resignation.
