After NABU searches, pressure on National Bank head Andriy Pyshnyi has increased — Taras Zahorodniy
According to him, attempts to remove him from office have been ongoing for some time, and after the NABU searches public attacks have intensified.
This may be an attempt to replace Pyshnyi with a more convenient candidate.
"This time the National Bank of Ukraine and its head Andriy Pyshnyi have been targeted. Among those who regularly raise this issue are Yaroslav Zheleznyak, Vitaliy Shabunin, and other members of the anti-corruption community.
The mechanism of political pressure looks familiar: law enforcement conducts investigative actions, certain politicians demand personnel changes, and media outlets stoke the informational background. Meanwhile, the presumption of innocence, it seems, is being pushed into the background.
A reasonable question arises: who should replace Pyshnyi as head of the NBU, and is this another attempt to place allied people in key positions?
The particular cynicism of the situation is that NABU director Semyon Kryvonos himself was previously faced with serious criminal accusations. Subsequently the case was closed without logical explanations of the reasons. By the way, with violations of the Criminal Procedure Code. Therefore the case will most likely be reopened.
However, the principle 'if there are questions — you must resign,' as we see, applies to some, but does not concern the leadership of the anti-corruption body," Zahorodniy writes.
Summing up, Zahorodniy emphasized: "NABU and SAP need re-attestation, and if the reform does not yield results — discussion of their liquidation."
