An electronic petition on the website of the Cabinet of Ministers calling for the dismissal of the Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko has gathered the necessary 25 thousand votes. There are three days until the end of collecting signatures.
The author of the appeal asks Prime Minister to initiate before the Verkhovna Rada the dismissal of the head of the Ministry of Culture "in connection with improper performance of official duties”.
On May 30, when the petition collected 22 thousand signatures, Orthodox human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska called on believers to support the initiative.
Earlier, the UOC Information and Education Department said that Tkachenko had voiced a number of fakes about Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
