Nikolov, Shabunin, and the Kryvonos case: where have the principles gone?
Political scientist Ihor Reyterovych draws attention not only to the situation surrounding the head of the NABU, Semen Kryvonos, but also to the reaction of those who for years presented themselves as principled exposers of misconduct.
"What is all the more surprising is the reaction to this situation from investigative journalists like Yurii Nikolov, Vitalii Shabunin, and many others. They fought for so long for the status of 'mouthpieces of truth' and 'exposers of misconduct.'"
According to Reyterovych, it is precisely now that these principles are being tested. After all, questions of integrity and accountability cannot depend on who is being discussed.
The author himself emphasizes that public trust is at the foundation of the work of anti-corruption bodies.
"If it disappears, everything such a public authority does begins to look to society like anything but a fight to establish justice."
Therefore, the situation around Kryvonos becomes an issue not only for the NABU but also for those who for years demanded transparency and answers from others.
