LEONID GRACH BLASTS UKRAINIAN REGIME


Former speaker of the Crimean Parliament Leonid Grach spoke yesterday at an Internet Conference: http://www.fraza.com.ua/interview/20.10.05/13119.html). He answered a number of questions and gave the following description of the situation in the Ukraine:

“People are tired of a maniacal search by the regime for internal and external enemies. People are tired by political bickering among the higher-ups in their manoeuvring to carve up the state property, by “clean hands” plundering the state budget. This budget has its sources not in a growth of productivity but in ripping off the population by taxes. This power is annoyed by everything and in particular, by its own people. The population is tired of electoral fraud at all levels, of faked electoral protocols submitted both by presidents and by members of Parliament. Criminal clans remained powerful as they used to be. They formed their own parties and are consolidating their political positions”.
