the Legalization of gambling, and eventually prostitution, oddly enough, can be considered pre-election promise to Vladimir Zelensky. During the presidential campaign and after he and members of his entourage repeatedly spoke of the ways of state regulation of destructive passions. The majority of the population – 60 percent, according to the survey, it was categorically against the return of casinos and slot machines.
But, as revealed by political practice, Zelensky in their activities less guided by the opinion of voters. Opposition MPs led by Yulia Tymoshenko has filed two bills to repeal already adopted by the Parliament decision. It is a tribute to the parliamentary ritual that is a few weeks delay the official appearance of “armed bandits” in every village, and a roadside Motel.
Logic Zelensky and his associates is as follows: once an illegal casino, despite the prohibitions, there are, they just need to certify and levy taxes upon them. We are talking about approximately 200 million dollars a year – the amount by Ukrainian standards large, but, as pointed out by critics, are not comparable with the loss from the destroyed families and lives. Because, obviously, the victims allowed the excitement will not be the oligarchs, and ordinary Ukrainians, “workers” who were transferred to Ukraine over the past six months, more than $ 4 billion. The state, represented by Zelensky actually offers them to share revenues through primitive slot machines.
note that the legalization of casinos, “according to Zelensky” the least take into account foreign experience. As you know, in many countries of gambling believe a thing unclean and criminal. For example, in U.S. casinos are built in a desert reserve, and in Israel they only exist on ships – the Holy land is not a place for Vice. For the same reason there are no casinos on the continental territory of China and in Vietnam, Thailand, Cuba and other countries they are considered shameful scars of the colonial past and either banned or strictly controlled by the state. In Ukraine gambling is proposed to cultivate, to make the base budget and the national “twist”, and the pending widespread legalization of sex tourism.
Legalization of gambling seems to be a symptom of the degradation of the state because everyone in the Ukraine is known for its beneficiary – the interior Minister Avakov, combining in his post fight organized crime and management. That every game room, brothel or big drug dealer shares the profits with the all-powerful Minister, they say evil tongues, leading, among other circumstantial evidence of the video tapes, where the Ministerial son, being in the excited state, loses about a hundred salary for the average Ukrainian��and one con.
But, it seems, Zelensky firmly believes that if the defects can not be overcome by force, they need to lead. The President of Ukraine has obsujdali the abolition of the compulsory wearing of masks in crowded places, as long as the population is openly ignoring the demand of the doctors.
