“What kind of self-government is it when the mayor of the city, whom the people of Kiev choose, becomes the“ English queen ”, just a person who can lay flowers, cut ribbons, but has no influence on the processes that take place in the city?” He said in an interview with RBC Ukraine.
According to Klitschko, people elect the mayor, "who is the head of both the legislative and the executive branch."
“When the mayor of the city has no executive power, that is, the influence on the budget of the capital, on the implementation of projects with which he went to the polls, is absurd. There is no such thing in any civilized city of the world, or in a single European country. This is nonsense, ”added the mayor of Kiev.
July 24, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky demanded that the Government of Ukraine dismiss Klitschko.
Director of the Kiev Center for Political Studies and Conflictology, Mikhail Pogrebinsky, in a conversation with the FAN, stressed that Zelensky had the necessary powers to remove Klitschko from his post.
