It is impossible to directly deprive people’s deputies of the “Platform for Life and Peace” (former “OPPL”) group of powers.
Political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko told about this in a commentary to TSN.ua.
“No, it is impossible to do this directly automatically (to deprive deputy powers – ed.), because the grounds prescribed in the Constitution of Ukraine (Article 81 – ed.) do not provide for the termination of powers in the event of termination of the party’s activity,” the expert explained.
At the same time, he noted that people’s deputies from the liquidated PZZHM can apply to the Constitutional Court with a demand to recognize the termination of the political force’s activity as illegal.
Recall, on May 12, the parliament announced the dissolution of the Platform for Life and Peace group , which was renamed the former Opposition Platform – For Life.
It should be noted that according to Article 81 of the Constitution, the powers of people’s deputies are terminated ahead of schedule in the event of:
- resignation of powers at his personal request;
- the entry into force of a guilty verdict against him;
- recognition by the court as incompetent or missing;
- termination of his citizenship or departure for permanent residence outside Ukraine;
- if within 20 days from the date of occurrence of circumstances leading to violation of the requirements regarding the incompatibility of the deputy mandate with other types of activity, these circumstances are not eliminated;
- non-inclusion of a people’s deputy elected from a political party (electoral bloc of political parties) into the deputy faction of this political party (electoral bloc of political parties) or withdrawal of a people’s deputy of Ukraine from such a faction;
- his death.
