- Officially. I have been expelled from the “European Solidarity” faction. This was just announced from the Rada podium. I thank my colleagues for 12 years of work. Together we were able to achieve major changes in Ukraine and will continue to work for Ukraine, he wrote.
On 5 October “European Solidarity” announced on its social networks that Oleksiy Honcharenko’s public positions on ending the war and on the future security architecture of Ukraine diverged from the party’s position and its ideological foundations. Therefore the faction decided it could not continue a joint political path with Honcharenko due to ideological differences.
European Solidarity noted that compromises can be part of the path to ending the war, but Ukraine’s independence, its European future, questions of national identity, and the right to determine its own security system are not subjects for compromise.
On 2 October Oleksiy Honcharenko began publishing his proposals for a “peace plan” with Russia on his social networks. The MP urged negotiating with Russia "wherever possible" regarding mutual ceasefires. He also proposed reconsidering Ukraine’s course toward NATO.
In 2014 year Oleksiy Honcharenko was elected a People’s Deputy in the VII convocation from the president’s party “Petro Poroshenko Bloc.” In 2019 year he was elected a People’s Deputy in the IX convocation from the “European Solidarity” faction of former president Petro Poroshenko.
On 4 October President Zelensky commented on “Honcharenko’s peace plan”: These people do not determine the negotiation process, so the people of Ukraine can be calm.
On 6 October People’s Deputy Oleksiy Honcharenko was added to the database of the Myrotvorets website.
