Rada again wants to push through anti-church bills, – media
Scandalous bills № 4511 and № 4128 can be returned to the agenda of the plenary sessions of the Verkhovna Rada next week, writes Strana.

According to the resource, the draft agenda of the next plenary week of the Verkhovna Rada for May 18 includes two "church" bills – № 4511 (initiated by deputies from the People's Front Dmitry Tymchuk, Sergei Vysotsky, BPP member Alexander Briginets and a dozen other authors, mostly members of the coalition) and № 4128 (the authors are People's Front deputy Viktor Yelensky, as well as a number of deputies from the BPP and "Samopomich").

Bill № 4128 proposes that membership in a religious community be determined on the basis of "self-identification". Bill № 4511 introduces a special status for сhurches whose governing bodies are located in a country recognized by the Rada as an aggressor State.

As reported by the UOJ, experts have repeatedly stressed that bills № 4128 and № 4511 contradict the Constitution of Ukraine, and their aim is to create obstacles to the largest religious organization of Ukraine – the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, whose civil position is not approved by the current government.
