They want to dismiss Avakov – they are collecting signatures

Arsen Avakov

The Public Lustration Committee has initiated a signature collection for an electronic petition, the main demand of which is the resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.

According to the committee, in the two years since the Maidan and the Revolution of Dignity, not a single corrupt official has been punished, and law enforcement performance has been assessed as nothing short of a failure. Currently, 195 of the required 25,000 votes have been cast in favor of the Interior Minister's resignation.

The text also cites arguments for the "failure" of Avakov and his staff. Specifically, it mentions sabotaging the investigation of cases against Maidan protesters. For example, it notes that the Ministry of Internal Affairs failed to cooperate with the prosecutor's office in these cases, as reported by the Council of Europe's International Advisory Group.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet commented on this statement. However, this is far from the first attempt to dismiss Avakov.
