The reaction of social networks at the initiative of Sviridenko
- “This is ridiculous and deplorable. The deputies do it only for themselves. So civil servants go on vacation, now the business with exorbitant salaries … That is, FLPs are in flight and ordinary hardworking Ukrainians are also in flight … Disappointed!” – wrote Galina Yermolenko.
- “Slave owners on the march,” Pavel Sebastyanovich briefly commented on the innovation.
- “Servants of the people” felt like just feudal lords, – Alexander Kravchenko agreed with him.
- “Well, yes. And a 200,000 bail. Write like this: rich Ukrainians are tired of sitting without the sea, the Vienna Opera and Milan shopping. Let the poor fight, and wealthy Ukrainians will finally go to hang out. Everything is as usual,” – Dmitry Bogdan stated.
- “Nothing new. The poor are fighting and dying, the rich are fleeing…” – Stepan Petrovich stressed.
And what do the experts think about the initiative
Experts are also skeptical about the benefits of this initiative for business.
“Banks will start issuing loans in the amount of 200,000 for exit collateral. Here is the long-awaited stimulation of lending,” said the ex-people's deputy and member of the board of the National Bank Vasily Horbal.
