Draft law 4128 gives a carte blanche for church demolition, – UOC representative (VIDEO)
“Apart from the fact that draft law 4128 turns on the green light to raiding in the religious sphere, I do not exclude a possibility of outsiders’ interference, said the UOC head of the Law Department. – For instance, there is a church in Live, which is located in a picturesque area. With a land plot. People who might want to build a house there can influence administrative bodies so that the latter adopt an “appropriate decision” to build a block of flats on this plot. They do not even have to go through the red tape – just to identify themselves with a definite religious community would be sufficient.”
Besides, the draft law in question abolishes per se any authority (currently it is a parish assembly under law) that would confirm that decisions made at parish meetings are legitimate.
Draft law 4128 suggests that any person can become a member of the religious community merely by virtue of his/her “self-identification”.
