Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman believes that Federalization will not help the country, but only detract from the work on decentralization, which began at present Kiev.
"Federation or Confederation involves the collection of various subjects under one form of government. We have a unitary, sovereign state. To make Ukraine a Federation, it is necessary to destroy all, and after assembling. Why? Federalization Is not a recipe for Ukraine. This is a recipe for the countries where they were in the Principality, and they somehow came together. We didn't have them, "- said Groisman Ukrainian magazine " New time ".
according to his statement, a kind of special status or Federalization have the opportunity to completely undermine the European integration of Ukraine or serious reform." in the European Union to the city's communities have always been strong. If we are talking about federalization, the reference level will not be of the community (communities), and the subject of Federation. Ukraine will be separated into separate principalities, and the community will remain weak and dependent", he added.
As explained Groysman, the accumulated changes in the Constitution of Ukraine in the part of decentralization involve the bulk transfer of powers from the centre to local.
"A basic level of local government is not the area or the territory, and the community - a city, village, town or Association. This means that the most important local government level will be the lowest level closest to the people, and not regional, where it will be, God forbid, some " king ". The European principle of subsidiarity, which now lies in the Constitution, stipulates that the maximum opportunities to address issues must be exactly at the level where these problems occur, " explained the Speaker.
before the constitutional Commission approved the draft changes to the Constitution to decentralize power. The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko submitted it for consideration in the Parliament. The approved project does not provide for a special status for certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, but only prescribes that he be Appointed a special legislative act. The rule of the sequence of Commission of local government in certain areas of Donbass on the basis of the law is proposed to consolidate the transitional provisions of the Constitution.
