The Office of the President demanded a list of those who did not sign my expulsion — Lerosa

The head of the Servant of the People faction, Davyd Arakhamia, told deputies’ aides that it was necessary to separately provide the Office of the President with a list of those MPs who would not support Geo Lerosa’s exclusion.

This was stated by Geo Lerosa, expelled from the Servant of the People faction, as reported by Censor.NET.

“I have great respect for those who did not vote. Given the level of pressure that was yesterday … I spoke today with a person close to the Office of the President. He told me, to quote: ‘You don’t understand what was happening yesterday… Trust my life experience: what happened yesterday and how deputies were pressured — you can’t even imagine!’” Lerosa said. He named the colleagues who did not support the exclusion. “I know that the opposition included Liza Yasko, Vitaliy Bezgin, Natalukha, Oksana Dmytriyeva, Babak … Grischuk Roma. Mitya Guryn. Vasyliv Ihor. And Zhenya Petruunyak. These are the people I’m aware of today. People who did not give votes,” he said.

according to him, several deputies stated that this exclusion should take place within the faction. “Let the president, Lerosa — come and give an answer to each other for everything that has accumulated. No, they gave orders behind their backs within a few hours to gather votes.”

They initially didn’t have enough votes either. There were about 120 “for,” the deputy said. As a reminder, Geo Lerosa, expelled from the ruling faction, spoke on air at hromadske about why he now considers himself an enemy of President Volodymyr Zelensky, although he previously supported him and believed he wished Ukraine well.
