UNIAN, Tanya Polyalska Ukrainian parliament member Maryana Bezuhla returned to the faction Servant of the People. As UNIAN correspondent reports, the first deputy speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Oleksandr Kornienko, announced this at the parliamentary session today, 18 August.
"In accordance with part 3 of article 60 of the Regulations of the Verkhovna Rada, of the submitted statement, I inform about the entry of Member of Parliament Maryana Volodymyrivna Bezuhla into the parliamentary faction Servant of the People. Welcome, Maryana Volodymyrivna," said Kornienko, smiling.
Bezuhla explained on Facebook why she returned to the faction, from which she had left in 2024 year, slamming the door.
"She explained why she returned to Servant of the People: to establish a special committee on military justice, which cannot be headed by a non-fractional deputy, and also to have a stable right to participate in all meetings, not to be silent there, of course. Maybe this is temporary," she noted.
More about Bezuhla's departure from the Servant of the People faction
As UNIAN reported, 17 July 2024 year, Ukrainian parliament member Maryana Bezuhla left the Servant of the People faction.
At that parliamentary session her letter of resignation from the faction was read.
Maryana Bezuhla was elected to the Verkhovna Rada for the Servant of the People party, but in Kyiv in a majoritarian district. This means that her leaving the faction did not entail revocation of her deputy mandate. Such a rule applies only to deputies elected from the party on the party list. In that case, leaving the faction means termination of deputy powers.
In 2024 year Bezuhla wrote on Facebook about the reasons for leaving the faction. She noted that another colleague from the Servant of the People faction, Mykola Zadorozhnyi, is suspected of demanding 3,4 million hryvnias in bribes. She noted that although suspicion is not a court verdict, it is still bad news. She also noted that her faction and the committee she works in did not support her.
In the post then she criticized the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, noting that it is very hard to approach him with obvious facts about problems in the military. She said she tried to do this in every way, but ahead of her daily there is a barrier of "professionals.".
Two criminal cases were opened against the deputy Bezuhla.
As UNIAN reported, in the Office of the Prosecutor General, in compliance with the orders of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv, upon applications of prosecutors, the GPO entered relevant data into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations regarding the deputy.
Pre-trial investigations are conducted by investigators of the State Bureau of Investigation under the procedural leadership of prosecutors of the OGP.
Bezuhla herself published a post on her Telegram channel stating that allegedly at that time the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, was "pressured by the deputy and his friend Taruta" in an attempt to attack her, presenting this as "state treason".
In February 2024 year the deputy Maryana Bezuhla was expelled from the Servant of the People party.
Head of the Servant of the People party Olena Shuliak told UNIAN that the request of Bezuhla to leave the party had been granted "earlier."
