The speaker of the Verkhovna Rada said that it is impossible to give grounds to the Constitutional Court to cancel the law after the vote.

Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk commented on the demand from MPs of "European Solidarity" and "Voice" to bring bill No. 8371 to a vote, UNIAN reports.

He insists on following all procedures so that the law cannot be blocked in court.

"The public weight of this bill is significant. Parliament has no right to either make a blank shot when adopting this bill or to violate procedural norms. And as a lawyer, I can tell you that this (bringing the law to a vote with procedural violations) is a direct basis for further cancellation of this law by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. All other manipulations, all other statements that someone called someone else, are some feeble fantasies of individual political actors who happen to work in parliament," Stefanchuk noted.

As the UOJ reported, the leader of "European Solidarity" called for the publication of the names of MPs who do not want to vote for the anti-church project and to ask them about the "true reasons" for not wanting to vote for the law banning the UOC.
