Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko believes that the Single Center party doesn’t have the right to exist in Ukraine.

She stated this on Saturday, July 12, during a conference of the All-Ukrainian Youth Organization Batkivshchyna Moloda (Young Fatherland).

“A party built on betrayal and cynicism can’t survive competition. And that’s why I think that the SC party doesn’t have the right to exist today in Ukraine,” said Tymoshenko.

She stressed that political forces shouldn’t be born out of betrayal.

Yulia Tymoshenko underscored that Single Center split off from a serious and strong democratic team, and its representatives in the Verkhovna Rada yesterday didn’t vote for the budget but voted for the dismissal of the government.

The support of the no-confidence vote by some deputies who are part of the Our Ukraine – People’s Self-Defense faction Tymoshenko assessed as an “unpleasant blow” from the President.

“This is a very unpleasant blow by the President against the government team,” she commented during a press conference on Saturday.

The Premier underscored that after the no-confidence vote, it became totally obvious to the government that “all the provocations claiming that there were enough votes in parliament to dismiss the government proved to be untrue.”

Tymoshenko noted that the government “is stable, works stably, and isn’t threatened by dismissal.”

She added that the Cabinet will continue to work soundly.
