💁♂️Briefly about draft law No.10242 on “punishing not those who steal, but those who tell about it,” which was abruptly put back on the agenda for tomorrow.
🗓️ I’ll remind you how long they’ve been dragging this out — for the 3 year:
▪️First reading — January 2024. 4 December 2024 — failure: 213 votes, the media community and human rights defenders opposed it.
▪️18 December 2024 — they inserted a partial repeal of the “Lozovyi amendments” demanded by our partners; my colleagues and I submitted 1 600 amendments, the law was not considered. January 2025 — taken off again.
Now they want to rush it through again under the pretext of “complying with EU requirements”… And this is while the Anti-Corruption Strategy, for which the EU is providing 420 million euros, was removed from the agenda for the second time in a month: “no votes.”
And the MOST IMPORTANT…. And the nicest part)
It so happens that we predicted this scenario long ago — this draft contains more than 1500 of my amendments. That’s about 2000 minutes of time… which is 33 hours of plenary time without alarms, so I can easily block proceedings for a couple of weeks) I wouldn’t want to spend time on this, but given my experience with marathons and iron-distance triathlons, endurance won’t be a problem) Besides, each amendment is coauthored with colleagues Radina, Khlapuk, and Yurchyshyn. So we’ll be taking turns in the chamber)))
What’s my point? We’ll block consideration now and remove this draft from consideration once again)
So, I rarely swear, but here it’s appropriate — I’ve already asked colleagues with a convincing request to remove the draft law the f*** away. And forget about these creative ideas)
P.S. I’d like to thank all investigative journalists for their work.
