Maryna Bahrova: Сertain conflict of public interests between the president and the prime minister
Maryna Bahrova, a member of the Board of the international union Institute of National Policy, is convinced that a certain conflict of public interests between the president and the prime minister exists now, and this conflict can be solved by consolidating a part of the powers in favour of the prime minister.
“According to the constitution, the main powers of the president are the implementation of the country’s foreign policy. The head of government is mainly responsible for internal affairs, economy, tariffs, gas prices, etc. The elimination of the conflict of public interests between the president and the prime minister in favour of the latter may ensure the implementation of real administrative reforms, eliminate irresponsibility and the constant shifting of responsibility,” Ms Bahrova said.
