The land of discord

The law on the turnover of agricultural land led to bloodshed at a “peaceful action” in Kyiv

In an elegant gray dress under the belt, with hair assembled in a knot, Yulia Tymoshenko brought a squad of farmers to a press pantle in the Rada. More precisely, representatives of various farmer associations and unions of the peasantry and the leaders of coal trade unions joined them. The miners arrived in the capital, sort of like on a different reason - salaries are delayed.

But Julia Vladimirovna combined the forces of protest with the formulation of "The villagers see the land from above, the miners - from the inside!"

Agrarians who were somewhat dumbfounded by success in a historical battle (Julia Vladimirovna said: “Thanks to you, you managed to take a tragedy from Ukraine - not to allow the adoption of the law to sell land! But this is only our first victory!”), In turn, thanked the leader of the Batkivshchini, as well as the non -parliamentary “freedom” and “national corps”, which the day before showed fighting qualities with fighting qualities with stresses with stresses with stresses police. Tymoshenko was addressed as the head of the headquarters of the national protection of Ukrainian land. She promised not to stop there.

Against the sale and against Zelensky

In the morning on Wednesday, December 18, the work was unlocked. The opposition triumphed: the ruling majority agreed to strictly follow the regulations, not turbo ground. No accelerated procedure! This meant that the “land” law was returned to the relevant committee to discuss four and a half thousand of amends. That is, before the New Year, you can not wait for the result - they will not have time. From the street, such a conclusion was welcomed by a few rally.

Let me remind you: on September 25, the government introduced bill No. 2178 to the parliament on the turnover of agricultural land, which provides for the abolition of a moratorium on the alienation of agricultural land of all forms of ownership from October 1, 2020. Then he was replaced by an even more resonant document, according to which foreigners received the right to buy land since 2024. On December 13, the bill changing the editorial office of the relevant article of the Land Code was adopted in the first reading. Before the second reading, I quote the President of Zelensky - they must make a provision on the referendum to the project so that not only peasants, but all citizens of the country decided to allow foreign buyers to be processed or not.

It is noteworthy: accompanying the mood of society, a number of media posted a photo of Igor Kolomoisky, holding a sheet of paper with a hashtag “there is no sale of land to foreigners”, and this was not a fake.

The oligarch increasingly publicly demonstrates his discrepancies with the initiatives of the president. In this case, the emphasis was on patriotism: they say, in 2014, the city of the Dnieper was protected from Russian aggression, in 2019-Ukrainian land-mother from encroachments. What did you achieve?!

In early December, the "Fatherland" by the lips of Julia Vladimirovna, on behalf of a number of public organizations, was announced the manifesto. The law on the sale of land there was called not a political decision, but a real crime that requires investigation and punishment of everyone who is behind this scam.

Translated from the political language, this meant: Tymoshenko declares Zelensky war.

“The president said that the decision will be made on the basis of a popular referendum. He knows that 73 percent of citizens against the sale of land, and does not fulfill his promises. A conspiracy is committed against the Ukrainian people! ” - then said Tymoshenko from the rostrum of the Rada. And in a recent interview with Focus, she completely called Zelensky a puppet in the hands of large foreign corporations, but which she refused to clarify, although she called on the SBU to check the head of state for treason. The anonymous financial gates of the West, the buyers of native Blacksemes, the ruins of the villagers and other potential threats could provide the "Batkivshchini" worthy result in the upcoming local elections. True, the “opposition platform - for life” will also turn to the same theses. On the issue of land, they with the "Fatherland" Yulia Tymoshenko are one hundred percent allies.

Blood rally

On Tuesday, December 17, under the Rada, as well as in the ten regional centers of the country, rallies “against the sale of land from foreigners and oligarchs” were held.

What was happening on the Constitution Square, black from the abundance of special forces and opposing the mass of people, where protesters of sports appearance prevailed-at the time of the Maidan, they were called “Titches”-in clothes that did not constrain the movement, it is impossible and close to compare with a rally-perform near the president’s office to Paris.

Although very young supporters of the “National Corps” in branded jackets, not only rooting for the country's foreign policy, but also “savvy” in agrarian topics, again. However, farmers were also present in the square. For the most part, middle -aged men and women stood in the front row near the fence, separating the territory of protest from space, where only deputies and accredited press were missed, and posted posters.

The scene was mounted quickly. The first fight with the police near the Kiev Hotel, which traditionally live, has traditionally lives faster, where bloodless deputies live. Protesters knocked out a cobblestone, in the hands of some guys the sharpened stakes found themselves - with such a bear at least to go ...

The special forces responded with clubs and tear gas, during the fight, the parties were injured, in particular, the journalists of the "Gromadsky" who fixed the events.

It did not reach the battle in the parliament hall. But the tribune was blocked by the deputy from the OPZH Nestor Shufrich (by the way, the head of the parliamentary committee on freedom of speech), and the Presidium took control of Yulia Tymoshenko. Speaker Dmitry Razumkov tried to find a compromise, but in the end he closed the meeting ahead of schedule. And here from the outside - even through the closed windows - the noise of a real clash of the parties began to break through.

The protesters connected the perforator and began to drill asphalt on the roadway of Grushevsky Street - they held tarpaulin army tents ready. Special forces moved on them with a wedge to prevent the appearance of a tent town. The security forces were greeted with a hail of stones. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 26 people were detained, about two dozen police officers were injured in varying severity, the number of the rally participants injured by the rally is called differently - the Ssoy on Grushevsky settled one after another.

The protection of the building of the Rada intensified significantly, blocked the entrances and exits,-they feared the assault. The deputies stood at the windows, arguing who the beneficiary, and even the playwright of the play “Hard confrontation”. The surname of the Minister of Internal Affairs sounded more often than the rest. They recalled the call of the headquarters of the national protection of Ukrainian land to veterans, volunteers, representatives of patriotic forces: “Support the action!”

The television picture and numerous streams from the scene are able to scare not only the inhabitants, but also the president himself. So it really was the atoshniki pounded the security forces, like real enemies? Is the internal discord grow? Comparisons with Yanukovych and predictions are already sounding: to the real Maidan, not far. For the first time in six months of Zelensky’s stay in power in Kyiv, blood spilled on a protest stated as a peaceful one.
