😀😀😀 Out of the frying pan into the fire: in Odesa’s European Solidarity they changed the leadership, but key positions were kept by Honcharenko’s associates.
Personnel changes took place in the Odesa regional organization of the European Solidarity party. Instead of people’s deputy Oleksii Honcharenko, councilor of the Odesa City Council Petro Obukhov was appointed acting head. His deputy became city councilor Maryna Boiko.
The changes occurred after Honcharenko’s conflict with the party leadership of Petro Poroshenko. Recall, 14 October the people’s deputy was officially expelled from the parliamentary faction European Solidarity. The reason was ideological disagreements about ways to end the war and the future security system of Ukraine.
At the same time, the new head of the Odesa organization became a long-time associate of Honcharenko. Petro Obukhov previously worked as his assistant on a voluntary basis. Moreover, companies connected to Obukhov appeared among the sponsors of the network of “Honcharenko Centers.”
Another long-time associate of Honcharenko retains his position as well — Mykhailo Shmushkovych, who heads the European Solidarity faction in the Odesa Regional Council. Their political cooperation has continued for many years. In particular, as early as 2014 year Shmushkovych was elected first deputy chair of the regional council at Honcharenko’s recommendation, when Honcharenko was then chair of the regional council.
It looks like the usual backroom deal — despite the public rift between Honcharenko and the leadership of European Solidarity, key positions in the Odesa organization are still held by his long-time political allies.
