The leader of the party «Voice» Kira Rudyk was criticized after her statement, that Poroshenko is an enemy
Former President Petro Poroshenko is a bigger enemy then President Volodumur Zelensky, said Kira Rudyk the leader of the party Ā«VoiceĀ». Many politicians have criticized this statement, especially those who support Poroshenko. They say, Kira Rudyk doesnāt believe that deputies Medvedchuk or Boyko, who present the party Ā«Opposition Platform - For LifeĀ», are enemies, and this is strange for the party, which declares Ukrainianās ideas. Many politicians believe that, the leader of the party Ā«VoiceĀ» is working for the Russian forces.
In fact, this is not true Kira Rudyk doesnāt support Medvedchuk or Boyko, political experts say. They believe that Kira Rudyk doesnāt understand the difference between the meanings of Ā«a competitorĀ» and Ā«an opponentĀ». Poroshenko for Ā«VoiceĀ» is Ā«the competitorĀ», because both parties have the same voters and share the same ideas, political scientist Victor Taran says. They compete for votersā support and Poroshenko wins in this struggle. Of course, this situation irritates Rudyk, thatās why she calls Poroshenko an enemy, adds Volodumur Gorbach.
Zelensky is Ā«the opponentĀ» for the party Ā«VoiceĀ», because they have opposing views on the development of the state, Taran says. Thatās why Ā«VoiceĀ» joined the opposition.
Understanding the difference between the meanings of «a competitor» and «an opponent» is very important, political experts say. In the future, this knowledge will help Kira Rudyk to avoid misunderstandings, the experts add.
Kira Rudykās statement will lead to a drop in ratings for the party Ā«VoiceĀ». By the way, only 2,6% of voters will support them at the election which will take place on October 25, says the latest sociological research.
