Photo UNIAN, Vyacheslav RatynskyiPolitical expert Taras Zahorodniy criticized the media campaign surrounding the possible dismissal of National Bank head Andriy Pyshnyi.
In his assessment, after the NABU searches certain politicians and media figures intensified demands to change the regulator’s leadership.
"Law enforcement officers are conducting investigative actions, Zheleznyak demands dismissal, media players are stoking the information background," Zahorodniy wrote.
The expert believes that this model of interaction between politicians, law enforcement and media representatives can turn criminal proceedings into a tool of political influence. He is particularly concerned about situations where public calls for resignation come before any notification of suspicion or court decision.
"The presumption of innocence in our country is effectively ceasing to function," he noted.
Zahorodniy also raised the question of equal standards of accountability for the NBU head and the leadership of NABU, in particular Semen Kryvonos, concerning whom, the expert said, criminal proceedings existed previously.
In his view, such practices create risks not only for the independence of state institutions but also for the country’s financial stability.
