💁♂️A brief note about bill No.10242 on “punishing not those who steal, but those who talk about it,” which has suddenly been put back on the agenda for tomorrow.
🗓️ Let me remind you how long they've been dragging this out — for the 3-th year:
▪️First reading — January 2024. 4 December 2024 — failure: 213 votes, media community and human rights defenders against.
▪️18 December 2024 — internally they inserted a partial repeal of the “Lozovyi amendments,” which partners demanded; my colleagues and I submitted 1 600 amendments, the bill was not considered. January 2025 — removed again.
They want to rush it through again under the guise of “meeting EU requirements”… And this while the Anti-Corruption Strategy, for which the EU is giving 420 million euros, has just been pulled from the agenda for the second time in a month: “no votes.”
And the MOST IMPORTANT…. And the most pleasant part)
It so happens that we anticipated this scenario long ago — this bill contains more than 1500 of my amendments. That’s about 2000 minutes of time… which is 33 hours of plenary time without alarms, meaning I can easily block the work for a couple of weeks) I wouldn’t like to spend time on this, but given my experience with marathons and iron-distance triathlons, endurance won’t be a problem) Moreover, each amendment is co-authored with colleagues Radyna, Khlapuk, and Yurchyshyn. So we’ll rotate in the chamber)))
What’s the point of all this? We’ll block consideration now and remove this bill from consideration once again)
So, I rarely swear, but it’s appropriate here — I’ve already asked colleagues with a persuasive request to remove the bill the f***ing hell away. And forget these “creative” ideas)
P.S. I’d like to thank all investigative journalists for their work.
