Medvedchuk: the sale of farmland in Ukraine - the question for the referendum

The leader of all-Ukrainian public movement "the Ukrainian choice" Viktor Medvedchuk informs that the issue of the sale of agricultural land in Ukraine is obliged to be submitted to a national referendum.

in Ukraine there has been a moratorium on the implementation of agricultural lands. His term ends in early 2016, however, politicians are already debating on the need of extending It. This question was debatable, the moratorium was extended. Ukrainian citizens are afraid that with the abolition of their land have the opportunity for a pittance to buy big businessmen. The head of the presidential administration of Ukraine Borys Lozhkin not so long ago expressed the view that the moratorium on sale of agricultural land is required to be cancelled in the coming year.

"If the government wants to raise the issue Of the sale of agricultural land, we must do it in a democratic way - on all-Ukrainian referendum by popular vote. To exclude insinuatio on the current topic in the future, we will seek the adoption of the law "On all-Ukrainian and local referendums by popular initiative" and - based on It - a referendum on the land issue, "writes Medvedchuk on the Internet office of the Ukrainian choice".

Only after the referendum, according to His vision, the authorities will be able to make certain decisions regarding the future of the land market.

While Medvedchuk believes that If the moratorium on the implementation of the land will be cleared, the Ukrainians will lose their national wealth, as even today, thousands of farmers and farmers invest in the land, have reported about the threat of bankruptcy and loss of business.

"in the case of open land market domestic agricultural producers will not be able to quickly redeem the leased land, as they don't have the necessary funds. On the contrary, the speculators and the citizens of foreign countries can easily invest in Ukrainian chernozems in the future to resell them ", - said Medvedchuk.
