Oppositionists block the work of the Verkhovna Rada for the fourth day. Thus, they do not allow the parliament of the oath of the new Commissioner for Human Rights - Valeria Lutkovskaya, chosen by a majority of Rada. The leader of the faction "Our Ukraine - Folk Self -Defense" Nikolai Martynenko said in an interview with Radio Liberty that the opposition does not exclude the force scenario of the development of events:
-We know that such a scenario was developed the day before yesterday. For some reason, he was canceled. According to our information, there was a corresponding meeting in the presidential administration, where they decided not to hold it. But we do not exclude that power actions are possible on Saturday, the 28th. Therefore, we remain within the walls of the parliament until tomorrow inclusive, ”said Nikolai Martynenko.
He also believes that since Kyiv does not respond to criticizing the actions of the authorities in relation to Yulia Tymoshenko, European countries can agree on a boycott of the Euro 2012 football championship in Ukraine.
The story of the beating of Tymoshenko and her hunger strike in the colony is declared in the ruling Party of Regions, directed to discredit the leadership of Ukraine and distract attention from the "criminal activity" of the opposition leader. However, Nikolai Martynenko claims that the opposition will soon present irrefutable evidence of bullying Tymoshenko in the colony.
According to the opposition, the still operating Human Rights Commissioner Nina Karpacheva, who recently visited Tymoshenko in the colony, recently met with the ambassadors of foreign states and showed them pictures of bruises and the hemat of the ex-prime minister, allegedly obtained by beating her escort. These pictures have already appeared on the Internet.

About four thousand activists of the Fatherland, Front of Changes and the right -winged “Freedom” were march along the central streets of Kyiv. On the fence of the presidential administration, they attached a symbolic agenda to the court for Viktor Yanukovych. The poster established by a nearby indicates that the court will be held on May 19 at 12:00, on Khreshchatyk, in the tent town:
“We personally invited Viktor Fedorovich that he would come and explain what he was doing in our country and why he tortures and kills Tymoshenko,” says Yuri Odarchenko Bloc, a deputy from Bloc.
President Viktor Yanukovych himself is now in the Crimea, where he commented on a series of explosions in Dnepropetrovsk , calling them "another challenge for Ukraine" and promising to "adequately respond" to the terrorists. The opposition, meanwhile, is afraid that the authorities can use the Dnepropetrovsk explosions to maintain a state of emergency in the country.
