The People’s Front states that they have provided the Constitutional Court with evidence of the existence of a coalition.
Lawmakers from the People’s Front provided the Constitutional Court with evidence that the “European Ukraine” coalition legally and practically existed in the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII Convocation.
This was reported by NF faction members Andriy Teteryuk and Ihor Aleseyev at a briefing near the Constitutional Court, according to the People’s Front press service.
“I want to once again emphasize a crucial and principled point: in the coalition of parliamentary factions in the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII convocation, which consisted of parliamentary factions and also included non-faction deputies, during its entire existence, i.e., from the moment of its formation in November 2014 year, up to its de facto termination in May 2019 year, there were never fewer deputies from the majority, i.e., 226 People’s Deputies,” Teteryuk noted.
He emphasized that after the announcement of the coalition’s termination, the constitution provides for a one-month period to form a new coalition.
Ihor Aleseyev added that at the time of the presidential decree on dissolving the Parliament, the corresponding period had not yet expired: “Therefore we will additionally argue our position to the reporting judge. Of course, we will explain this position directly during hearings at the Constitutional Court.”
As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky 20 in May during his inaugural speech announced the dissolution of parliament. On Tuesday, 21 in May, he signed a decree on the early termination of the Verkhovna Rada’s powers and the appointment of elections for 21 July. On Thursday, 23 in May, the decree took effect after publication in the “Government Courier.”
23 in May, Alexander Danilyuk, coordinator of the civic movement “Common Cause,” stated that he would appeal the presidential decree on dissolving the Rada in the Supreme Court.
24 in May, deputies from the “People’s Front” faction Andriy Teteryuk and Ihor Aleseyev submitted to the Constitutional Court a petition with 62 signatures of deputies concerning the unconstitutionality of the presidential decree on the early termination of the Verkhovna Rada’s powers.
4 in June, the Grand Chamber of the Constitutional Court considered the question of the form of constitutional proceedings in the case based on the petition of 62 the deputies of Ukraine regarding the conformity of the President of Ukraine’s Decree “On the early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the appointment of snap elections” to the Constitution.
