Direct speech: “”I didn’t demand the resignation of Andriy Yermak from the president, but I believe that Mr. Yermak’s resignation in this case would definitely bring down this certain excitement around the government (it is about the Verkhovna Rada’s vote on the resignation of ministers – ed.).
Because it is not a secret that the government was formed mostly after certain candidates in the Office of the President were approved: whether it was the president or it was joint decision-making, I cannot say because I do not have such information.
Indeed, today there was a lot of talk among the “servants” that Mr. Yermak should leave, but the decision to appoint the head of the OP is the president’s decision. What decision he will make, we will wait when he returns and announces his decision.”
Details: Venislavskyi says that the “trigger” that provoked talks about Yermak’s resignation was the information voiced by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the “Voice” faction, that Andriy Yermak is allegedly hiding on NABU tapes under the pseudonym “Ali Baba”.
The NABU does not confirm or deny this information, but earlier, SAP prosecutor Oleksandr Klymenko reported that “some “Ali-Baba” holds meetings and sets tasks to prosecute the NABU and SAP.”
