Volodymyr Groysman became prime minister of Ukraine. This does not sound like a surprise, of trying on was said earlier. But there were moments of tension, because the candidate for prime minister on several occasions took the toy from the sandbox. If not for fear of new elections – the president Poroshenko friendly scared – maybe the whole plan would fall.
The negotiations lasted a day, a night and another day, but it seemed that everything in the new cabinet earlier agreed and dopięto. But you can see there, so expect continued until the end. This is the Ukraine and now.
In addition to personal tug was to count the votes. The collapse of the old coalition already some time ago made a new to the required majority was lacking a bit, President Poroshenko had to arrange with large groups of oligarchs, Ihor Kolomoyski and Rinat Akhmetov, that supported the candidacy of Hrojsmana. And rightly foresaw, because Batkivshchyna Yulia Tymoshenko announced that it would not support the new prime minister, and that’s what she did.
By the way, it turned out that the Petro Poroshenko Bloc has trouble with unanimity, a number of deputies voted against. Representatives of the new political class who grew up during the Maidan and entered parliament after the 2014 elections. But most managed to collect and everything then went according to the script. The government remained several ‘old’ ministers of foreign affairs, defense, internal affairs.
There are some familiar faces and some new, not included in the study Natalie Jaresko, imported American financier, a recognizable face or other ministers imported from Georgia. Still lacks the Minister of Health, is a discussion whether this position will be better doctor or a businessman, as a Georgian could not make it.
The Prime Minister announced that will show you how it should operate a country that relies on reform, he will not depart from European course, and most of all will be fiercely fought populism and corruption. As if in response to the newspaper “Ukrainian Truth” printed professional resume Hrojsmana. It shows that the Prime Minister himself was dipped in a shady dealings, when he was mayor of Vinnitsa.
Hrojsman, born in 1978 in Vinnitsa took his first political steps, he was in the City Council, and then twice held the office of mayor. After euromajdanie in the first government Arseniy Yatsenyuk became deputy prime minister – Minister of Regional Development. Preparing a law on decentralization, which it never entered into force. After the election, he became head of the Supreme Council (now in this position will replace him Andriy Parubiy, the famous commander of Euromajdanu).
But above all – and this undeniable qualification for the head office – is a friend of the president, Petro Poroshenko. This knowledge is also linked to the vineyard, where he grew up Poroshenko, and finally there placed the one of its largest chocolate factories Rozhen. Now it will have its man as Prime Minister and more power.
Before the new prime minister and cabinet faces many tasks. They need to hurry with the reforms, if Ukraine is to see another (for now arrested) tranche of the loan from the International Monetary Fund. Many of these reforms are unpopular tasks, such as further increases in energy prices, gas and municipal fees, Ukrainians will not be for them to thank the government. The fight against corruption will take place, it’s the Prime Minister promised. It should only appoint the attorney general … There’s a whole list of systemic reforms. Well, there is a war in Donbas: Although the conflict looks frozen, but almost every day are dying, people, Russia has not withdrawn its troops or equipment, and Ukraine has not regained control of the border.
This means that agreements Minsk 2 are not implemented, the time limit fill postponed and probably have to do it again. You have to also be faced with the law on decentralization, where the thorn stuck record a special status of Donbass, which raises opposition deputies and the public. But away from this impossible. The question is, if we can avoid early elections, which could reveal a whole new political map of Ukraine.
