PR wants to create a service for breaking up demonstrations using weapons

MPs from the Party of Regions Vasyl Hrytsak and Valery Konovalyuk have worked out a bill, in which they suggested turning the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the State service of law enforcement.

The members of the Party want such a service to operate by analogy with the French Gendarmerie. Consequently, it is planned to invest them with broad authority.

The deputies assure that the body can take on the powers of the Security Service of Ukraine and Ministry of Internal Affairs. For example protection of the constitutional order and territorial integrity.

It is assumed that the new division will be given the rights to enter the homes of citizens without a warrant. There is one more interesting fact: they are planning to allow the State Service of Law Enforcement to use not only special means but also firearms for breaking up social riots.

In their turn, the representatives of the opposition are afraid that under the guise of "protecting the constitutional order" the authority will be able to break up peaceful rallies and demonstrations, using the weapon.
