People's Deputy from Chernivtsi region Georgiy Mazurashu in a comment to "Radio Svoboda" explained why he abstained from voting for the law on the de facto ban of the UOC.
In his opinion, the provisions of this law introduce a "manual mode" for determining which religious organizations fall under the state's ban.
"Here a state structure appears that [will check the enforcement of the law]... I consider this as insufficiently transparent mechanisms that allow for subjective actions," stated the deputy.
As reported by SPJ, People's Deputy Georgiy Mazurashu previously criticized the raider actions of the OCU in seizing UOC temples, calling them "wild medievalism".
