Ukraine’s interior minister Denys Monastyrsky faces calls for him removal  over ‘abuse of power’ and ‘incompetencies’ after recent repors alleged his ministry was involved in cover-up of  ‘Servant of the People’ MP Oleskandr Trukhin car crash.

Former parliament speker Dmytro Razumkov and several European Solidarity lawmakers issued a joint statement on Thrusday, calling for investigation on the law enforcement role in a slew of recent scandals involving  former deputy interior minister Gogilashvili and MP Trukhin.

‘The minister cannot ensure the rule of law, as he covers crimes, abuses power and official position, and is therefore subject to dismissal’, the statement says.

‘European Solidarity’ MPs demand to hold an extraordinary session of the parliament to address the issue of ‘inaction by law enforcement’.
