Which deputies rejected the bill that is tied to almost 7 billion UAH in aid from the European Union
The Verkhovna Rada Committee on Legal Policy recommended adopting draft law No. 16018 regarding competitions for the High Qualification Commission of Judges and the High Council of Justice.
This draft law does not include a decisive vote for international experts. As a result, Ukraine will not receive the EU-tied condition of 130 million euros (almost 7 billion UAH).
👉 This decision was supported by 11 members of Servant of the People (Roman Babiy, Valeriy Bozhyk, Volodymyr Vatras, Serhiy Demchenko, Maksym Dyrdin, Ivan Kalaur, Mykhailo Novikov, Olesya Otradnova, Pavlo Pavlish, Mykola Stefanchuk, and Ihor Fris), Batkivshchyna deputy Serhiy Soboliev, and OPZZh-elected Vasyl Nimchenko.
At the same time, deputies rejected the government draft law (No. 16018-1), which is not perfect but received an opinion from the Venice Commission. In other words, by taking the Venice Commission’s comments into account, the document could have been revised and ultimately secured the EU funds.
You can punish the deputies who are depriving Ukraine of a chance to receive critically important funds and who want to fill one of the main judicial bodies with people who will select pliant judges here: https://www.serpom.org.ua/fuckups/vidhylyly-sudovyj-zakonoproyekt-pid-yakyj-pidv-yazani-majzhe-7-mlrd-grn-dopomogy-vid-yevrosoyuzu/
