The budget has set at variance the parliamentary majority. Kiev absolutely in vain prepared on Thursday for the big fight between supporters of opposition and progovernmental miners specially brought from Donetsk, blocking transport movement in the centre and pulling together in area of the Supreme Rada of force of militian special troops. Demonstrators on either side of barricades quickly have found common language, have defined the uniform enemy in the name of the power and towards the end of a steel to scan under parliamentary walls the general slogans. Serious opposition with opposition at "Bolsheviks" did not leave and in a sessional hall. But the have taken offence.
Hundred griven — not a trifle
The opposition especially also did not resist to acceptance of the "antisocial" budget. In a course traditional blocking of a tribune has not been started up even. Only at the very beginning of session deputies have arranged "ritual" fight at parliamentary presidium, having loafed about slightly before objectives of television cameras with fervent smiles on excited faces. Exchanging bows then in a lobby, «a pier, excuse, Ivan Ivanovich, for my kick — anything personal». And speaker Vladimir Litvin, having wished happy birthday Julia Timoshenko, has suddenly had an opportunity easy to begin the session which main question was voting by the budget. In blocking, in general, also there was no necessity. The parliamentary majority has incurred all black public relations of present budgetary process voluntary.
That the minimum salary in Ukraine at a rate of 205 grn is necessary., fixed in the budget accepted the day before. This decision of the government quite fairly name fall of salaries, after all according to other law initiated by the same government half a year back, the minimum salary since November already should make 237 grn. Whatever explained now the Ministry of Finance about impossibility of simultaneous increase of social payments and surtax decrease, Office JAnukovicha now will be accurate to associate at the people with formal decrease in its well-being. And the opposition has received a smart long-playing theme for power criticism. «Our Ukraine» also promises not to miss possibility to address in the Constitutional court, after all any legislative narrowing of the rights of citizens unequivocally contradicts the Constitution.
The discomfiture left and with the law. After days after its acceptance deputies of the majority have suddenly found out, that have voted at all for that, for what were going to. The governmental bill about 205 grn. Had number 4207–2. But in turmoil okolotribunnoj a crush speaker Litvin, disclosing it for voting, has not read up in the name of the document the termination «2». And at pure number 4207 other bill prepared by socialists which provided not decrease, and on the contrary, increase "minimalki" to 305 grn appeared absolutely. During that moment nobody has noticed errors, and the President bystrenko has signed the law, having installed that it.
Budgetary squabbles
But the most interesting has begun already in the course of acceptance of the budget. Representatives of fraction «Labour Ukraine» whom the government cut off privileges lobbied by them for motor-car manufacturers have appeared the first offended. As a result "trudoviki" have ruined all package of changes in tax laws which should provide a profitable part of the budget. Now it will try to accept after, that, by the way, contradicts the Budgetary code, obliging to accept the budget only on operating tax base.
The budget in general has put "landowners" on a nervous breakdown side. They have suddenly found out, that the tax laws the next year do not provide traditional privileges for selhozproizvoditelej. The moment was critical — "landowners" have decided not to vote! Only oath promises of representatives of the government to take out the next day on voting for village have forced the zero rate of the VAT 10 of 16 members of fraction APU all the same to press the button pro. They, as a matter of fact, also have solved destiny of the budget, having provided it 234 (it is more than half of voices). Katerina Vashchuk in hearts even has promised to withdraw these voices if the situation with privileges urgently is not corrected. It has not excluded and more terrible sedition — an exit from the parliamentary majority. It is necessary to give due to organizers of budgetary process: on Friday in bowels of parliamentary office they have found a certain old bill with offers of the President, containing norm about prolongation tax selhozlgot till 2005 Which has been urgently accepted. This law has not solved all problems of "landowners", but has partially calmed raznervnichavshujusja fraction.
It only the brightest part of budgetary collisions — the most part of passions remained «under a carpet». According to analysts, in the basic financial document the next year few interests of the main parliamentary lobbyists are considered extremely. Happy can feel itself only «Regions of Ukraine», provided to itself and voters 4-milliard financing of coal branch, yes SDPU () which process more interested. But the opposition presumes to accuse directly the power of concealment 2,5 mlrd public revenues in quality zagashnika for pre-election campaign. And here representatives of the majority need to gnash only a teeth, once again transferring "nagib" from social democracy dominating on Grushevsky.
Baker's dozen NDP
Because of the already practically open conflict with SDPU () and its living on Bankovoj the leader on the verge oppozitsionnosti there was suddenly tiny fraction NDP. Its leader Valery Pustovoytenko and differed earlier free-thinking, afforded criticism of the power and even has somehow risked to declare intention to stand in presidents. Now over its proud parliamentary group the dissolution shade has hung. After it was left by Alexander Karpov, in fraction there were only 14 deputies — critical number, less which cannot be. A problem that one of them — Anatoly Tolstouhov — since summer is the minister of the Cabinet, i.e. Combines the deputy mandate with job in an executive power that is directly forbidden by the Constitution. If Mr. Tolstouhov legislatively combines from itself deputy powers, in fraction NDP there will be 13 members, and, according to regulations, it will stop the existence.
Speaker Litvin suspects, that in disorder of rebellious fraction there is the external interest having social democratic colouring. It and itself is glad though here to salt to the head of the Office of the President, but spikersky the debt obliges to bring an action against minister Tolstouhova. Blames AP for the troubles and Mr. Pustovoytenko. He addresses to all 11 to the national democrats sprayed on the parliamentary majority with an appeal to return to native fraction, threatening with deprivation of party membership cards.
Oppositionists need to observe only from the party of deepening of contradictions in the parliamentary majority. The balance of forces there is obviously broken. Very many impossible soldering SDPU () — «Regions of Ukraine» irritates powerful and, apparently, still more recently. Victor Janukovich could not take the control over parliament in hand, but has divided influence with Victor Medvedchuk. Together they can turn off mountains and necks. To see to it for the necks there was an occasion at many in the parliamentary majority.
