Only 66 MPs of the whole convocation of the VRU have promulgated names of their assistants at the request of the Civil Network OPORA. Among them are: 42 representatives of the UDAR faction, 14 – of the All-Ukrainian Union Fatherland, 4 representatives of the Party of Regions, three from the All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda, and three are non-faction MPs.

The opposition is blocking the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada for the second day. The reason – is a claim on deprivation of the Fatherland faction member Serhiy Vlasenko of parliamentary mandate.

The Civil Network OPORA continues to watch and analyze law-making activities of MPs of Ukraine of VII convocation. In February 2013, the majority of "useful" parliamentarians was noticed in the Svoboda faction (66.67%), and the smallest part – in the Party of Regions (32%). The indicators show that only one third part of the Party of Regions participated in the preparation of draft laws in February, and more than half of the All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda were active law-makers.

The Parliament is blocked by the opposition again. This time – in connection to the deprivation of the Fatherland faction member Serhiy Vlasenko of parliamentary mandate. We remind, that the VRU Head Volodymyr Rybak appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine regarding the deprivation of Vlasenko of parliamentary mandate for combining his parliamentary duties with law practice
