Congratulations on the rebranding!

The country’s crisis has been surmounted, an absolute stability reigns, the GDP is rapidly increasing, — Speaker Oleksandr Moroz and Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych are repeating over and over again. And if there is no crisis, there is no need in the “anticrisis coalition.” The coalition was renamed on Friday morning. Now the majority at power is called “the coalition of national unity.” One calls this a rebranding in marketing, when a company tries to enlarge its purpose audience or enter new markets, and changes its name for this purpose.

“Entering new markets,” noteworthy, is successful. The turncoats’ rows are being slowly, but confidently filled: 6 people’s deputies from Our Ukraine fraction and 5 from the BYuT joined the coalition last week. Thus, the coalition includes 260 people’s deputies today. However, one needs 40 deputies more to gain the constitutional majority, and it will not be an easy thing to get them. But the prime minister is optimistically-minded: on Thursday evening he expressed an assumption on Inter TV Channel that they have the constitutional majority in the Parliament, although “it is not yet shaped.” Viktor Yanukovych stated at the recent press conference that a deputy may enter the coalition on an individual base. “This is the European practice, and an imperative mandatory does not work in the European practice,” Yanukovych explained.

Obviously, spring and political success on Friday have had an impact on the premier: he smiled a lot, was in high spirits, answered the journalists’ questions frankly, with pleasure, and even invited a limited number of mass media representatives to have some tea at his house. Even the question about Lutsenko did not spoil his mood. “I treat People’s Self-defense like an adventurist organization which is dangerously playing,” he admitted. Say, there is “calm mood” and economic growth in the country. “Do we need these marches now? And someone uses weapon during one, what happens, tell me please? All this is possible.”

But if coalition will continue to enlarge so rapidly, there will be no need in any “Justice marches.”
