Mykolaiv City Council officials unite in a deputy group

There have been changes in the deputy corps of Mykolaiv City Council: the deputies have united in a new political group called 'Sanation'. The head of the newly created group, former director of the anti-corruption department <b>Andriy Yermolaev</b>, explained the purpose of the association: the main task is to coordinate activities, exchange experience and information between deputies of different factions.

This became known during the continuation of the session of Mykolaiv City Council on September 30.

The group has an inter-factional composition, uniting nine deputies:

• <b>Andriy Yermolaiev</b> (Propozytsiya faction) is the head of the group.
• The group includes a number of MPs from the Servant of the People party: <b>Oleksandr Rozumnyi, Yuriy Stepanets</b> and <b>Tetiana Dombrovska</b>.
• <b>Svitlana Babarika</b> from the European Solidarity party also joined Sanation.
• A large part of the group is made up of non-factional MPs elected from the Nash Krai (Serhiy Kantor) and Shariy's Party (Oleksandr Kovtun, Larysa Drobot, Andriy Kucherenko).

As a reminder, Mykolaiv City Council has been unable to complete the 47th regular session for a month due to various reasons: postponement, cancellation, lack of quorum. Only today, on the fifth attempt, the deputies were able to finish the session, which started on August 28.

The problem was not only the lack of officials to vote: repeated postponements were caused by political disagreements and the unwillingness of certain factions to participate, which led to paralysis in making important decisions. As a result, vital issues for the city, such as the allocation of funds to restore damaged infrastructure, decisions on municipal property, and support for critical enterprises, have been delayed.
