Tymoshenko supports establishment of broad opposition in parliament

The leader of the Batkivschyna faction Yulia Tymoshenko has declared she is in favor of a broad opposition formation.

"The opposition can be created by the Batkivschyna faction, the Radical party, Svoboda, People's Control, which is headed by Dmytro Dobrodomiv and the People's Will party, which is headed by MP Derevianko [Yuriy Derevianko]," Tymoshenko told journalists in the Verkhovna Rada lobby on Thursday.

Batkivschyna leader noted that Samopomich wouldn't join the broad opposition so far, but "we're trying to conduct negotiations with them."

According to Yulia Tymoshenko, the opposition must be united, including extra-parliamentary opposition forces to start consolidating the country to confront the terror that the current authorities started against the Ukrainian people."

In addition, regarding the work of the parliament Tymoshenko suggested the Verkhovna Rada not to go on summer vacations.

"Today there is a draft resolution that is registered by me personally so that the parliament and deputies wouldn't go on vacation," Tymoshenko said.

According to the faction leader, deputies shouldn't go on vacation when the state is in decline. "We will call on all the parliamentary forces to vote for a resolution for abandoning the holidays," Tymoshenko said.
