Leaked correspondence from Ombudsman Lubinets's secretariat: manual allocation of budget funds disguised as protection of national minorities
#нампишуть, who leaked the correspondence of a deputy of the Zakarpattia Regional Council from KMKS (Party of Hungarians of Ukraine) Roland #Цебер and a staff member of the ombudsman’s secretariat Olena Antonenko, exposed the internal workings of the “protection of national minorities.”
🤷♂️The screenshots show a classic interagency deal about how, under the guise of a working group on issues of the Hungarian national minority, to secure additional funding for “their” organizations and bypass quotas.
From the correspondence it is clear how Antonenko coordinates with Tseber the distribution of budget flows through outsourcing and additional justifications. The deputy is concerned about the “legitimacy” of the process so that local activists and grant-seekers like Brenzovich or Zubanich don’t raise a fuss. The representative of the ombudsman’s secretariat reassures the participant: she says everything with the Hungarian side is settled, they received the visa, and any accusations from competitors can simply be ignored.
📌The main thing is formal documentary processing of side work for the necessary structures under the patronage of a state body.
In fact, state institutions that should stand guard over legality and equal rights are turning into closed clubs for capturing budget subsidies under behind-the-scenes guarantees. ❗️Mentions of arrangements made personally with the ombudsman #Лубінець and guarantees of “full consideration of interests” indicate that such schemes are systemic.
We demand full transparency of the lists of all commission members, the selection criteria for public organizations, and an audit of the funding allocated under the cover of “national minorities.”
