The “United patriots” stated they had provided equilibrium inn parliament but added that during the four years of its term this National Assembly had been in permanent crisis and in a state of free fall.
Volya party stated that they are leaving parliament without having submitted a single lobbyist bill, and without any appointments for government office.
