Robert Horvat revealed the secrets of the Verkhovna Rada

Last night, in the premises of the conference center Smart Point Hub, MP Robert Horvat met with Transcarpathian youth.

The topic of this informal meeting – "Is there a "house of card" in Ukrainian politics?" – may not be clear to everyone. So, we’ll explain: this is the name of the famous American show about hidden processes at the top of the US government. Although the series is not documentary, but due to the good script and acting, many viewers are convinced that it is a fairly realistic depiction of how the authorities operate in the United States and in other countries.

And what about us? Do similar processes and movements take place in the Ukrainian politics? How strong and insurmountable is the oligarchic lobby in the Ukrainian parliament? Are there forces on the upper levels of power that can resist old schemes? What is the danger of populism which our politicians like to use, especially before elections? How will this affect the vectors of Ukraine’s development? Does Robert Horvat plan to run for the next term?

These were the questions asked by the young people who gathered for this meeting.  It should be noted that the conversation was quite frank: the MP told about his own disappointments and unfulfilled expectations, how laws are made, how they pass all stages from the idea to approval, how much resistance they encounter sometimes.

Retelling the entire conversation is impossible and unnecessary. Those who wanted to hear the opinion of the people’s deputy attended this meeting. If anyone is interested, Robert Horvat is open to communication and would be happy to hold another meeting in this format. We will just mention the main conclusion, the main impression after the conversation: the state is all of us. It is the activism, the desire to think and analyze, the ability to not fall for cheap populism, empty promises and pre-election crumbs that the future of the country depends on.

And it is hard to disagree with this.
