Ukrainians do not want the authorities to appoint priests to them, – poll

59.7% of the respondents interviewed by the Sofia Social Research Centre do not support the new order of appointing clergymen of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with the permission of the authorities, which Verkhovna Rada deputies want to introduce with bill № 4511, reports Ukrainian News.

This is evidenced by the results of the survey, presented in the press centre of the Ukrainian News.

42.1% of respondents clearly do not support this initiative, 17.6% – rather not support, 6.7% – clearly support, 9.8% – rather support, and 23.8% of respondents found it difficult to answer the question.

The survey was conducted from May 26 to June 1 in all regions of Ukraine (in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions conducted on the Ukraine-controlled territory, in the Crimea it was not conducted). A total of 1,217 adult respondents were interviewed using the personal interview method at home. The statistical error does not exceed 3%.

As reported by the UOJ, bills № 4128 and № 4511 may become not only a new occasion for accusations of violations of religious rights by Ukraine, but also a "trigger" for irreversible decisions that can destroy the statehood of Ukraine as such.
