🏛❌ Odesa city council rejected a moratorium on Russian-language content — the draft concerned music, films, performances, and literature in public places
🗳📑 The Odesa city council did not support the initiative of Servant of the People deputy Olga Kvasnytska. Only 18 deputies voted for the moratorium out of the required 33, two abstained, and 21 did not vote. For private businesses the draft provided recommendations.
⚖️🔎 A representative of the language ombudsperson, Anna Nerush, supported the initiative, but the city council’s legal department said the proposed mechanism would not ensure enforcement of the restrictions. Kvasnytska insisted on the need to close gaps in the legislation.
