Yatsenyuk – other ambitions. He wants again after the parliamentary elections to return to the Premiership, says DT.ua. Now, however, it has almost zero rating, although it hopes to “cure” consciousness of Ukrainians. He plus his party members and minions who now occupy Ministerial positions and are heads of large state companies – coalition parliamentary quota.
“This resource and ambitious player (Yatsenyuk), and even on “their” electoral field, Poroshenko is not exactly necessary. In this regard, it would be cheaper to send Yatsenyuk “a political link to the national Bank”, whatever the significance of this position from a resource point of view. After all, having a sufficient competence to keep the situation under at least a relative control, the former Prime Minister, the NBU will inevitably be a lightning rod of public negativity with all electoral prospects, the ensuing. And if you fail, then will there finally buried with all its illusory plans to return to the Premiership,” writes DT.ua.
Yatsenyuk, the national Bank will be beneficial Poroshenko as an important negotiator with the IMF, with which the former Prime Minister had a good business relationship.
At the same time Yatsenyuk not only advises the current Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, but also able to block a vote on his resignation if the President decides to replace the incumbent government. In the seat of the head of the national Bank of Ukraine is doomed to become a PR opponent of the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, the “Economic truth” with reference to the sources claims that the resignation at own will Gontareva may declare this week, March 2. It will happen only after she will find a replacement.
Recall that the blow was replaced by Stepan Kubiv as the head of the National Bank in June 2014. Kubiv subsequently became the first Vice-Prime Minister, Minister of economic development and trade in the government of Vladimir Groisman.
