Farion comments on the case against her with words of UGCC "patriarch"

Scandalous ex-MP Iryna Faryon believes that she is "beaten by slaves".

A scandalous politician from Lviv, Iryna Farion, against whom the SBU opened proceedings under several articles of the Criminal Code, commented on it on her YouTube channel with the words of the "patriarch" of the UGCC of the twentieth century Joseph Slipyi.

Farion said that in case she is prosecuted for inciting national hatred, "someone will be very happy". To such people, she addressed the words of "our outstanding patriarch".

"I thank God for the fact that I was beaten by slaves, not free people," Farion quoted Slipyi and said that she relates them to herself.

In mid-November, Iryna Farion got into a scandal because of insulting Russian-speaking fighters of the AFU. Students of the Lviv Polytechnic sought her dismissal from the university.

Earlier, Farion called the head of the UGCC a slave and accused him of surrendering national interests to the Poles.
