The authorities are preparing a large-scale reshuffle of positions, a political scientist says.
Political analyst Viktor Neboženko believes that the possible resignation of National Bank of Ukraine governor Valeria Hontarëva is driven by the presidential forces in the Verkhovna Rada aiming to test MPs’ readiness to dismiss Volodymyr Groysman from the post of prime minister.
He spoke about this in a comment to the site "24". According to him, the Presidential Administration is drafting a plan to gather votes for Groysman’s resignation, as he has become, during a year in office, a relatively independent figure.
Nebozhenko is convinced that Hontarëva’s resignation as head of the National Bank indicates that in the BYuT (Block of Petro Poroshenko) they are ready to deal with the Narodnyi Front regarding another redistribution of the most important state posts.
Groysman liked hard work in managing the state. Therefore, he will not leave the post by himself. However, in order to remove the prime minister, the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko in the parliament must promise its allies from the Narodnyi Front some posts, such as the head of the NBU or Kvit’s seat, Neboženko said.
The expert assured that votes for Hontarëva’s resignation can later be directed against Groysman. One political faction will receive the post of prime minister, another—the chair of the National Bank and the head of the State Fiscal Service.
"If there is a successful vote in the Rada for Hontarëva’s resignation, the BYuT will demonstratively show the prime minister that he is next," the political scientist believes.
At the same time, the expert noted that a positive vote on the resignation of the head of the National Bank would not mean a direct readiness by the lawmakers to support the removal of the prime minister.
As a reminder, on Monday, 3 April, the deputy head of the faction of the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko in the parliament Iryna Lutsenko said that the head of the National Bank Valeriy Hontareva had written a resignation letter. At the same time, Hontareva herself denied this information.
