Leader of the Radical Party Oleh Liashko supports the introduction in Ukraine of the death penalty for corruption, high treason and terrorism.
“For this extraordinary period in which we live, Ukraine has every right to protect our future, to protect every Ukrainian, to protect us all and future generations, we have the right to impose the death penalty for corruption, for treason and terrorism as an exception. I will bring the death penalty for corruption to a referendum,” the politician said at the XXII Congress of the Radical Party headed by him, which takes place in Kyiv on Monday and will consider the nomination of Liashko as a presidential candidate.
The politician said that if he is elected to this post, he will come up with an initiative to reduce the number of deputies from 400 to 250.
“I will suggest eliminating the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine. Today, the president, the government and the parliament are like Krylov’s swan, cancer and pike … I propose that the president, who is elected by the people at the elections, should head the executive branch of power,” the leader of the Radical Party said.
Liashko also said that he has a plan for economic recovery, which will increase the population in the country.
In addition, he stressed that his program is aimed at overcoming poverty in the country.
In the early presidential election in 2014, 8.32 percent of voters voted for Liashko (3rd place after Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko).
