Guards in parliament tried to expel journalists from press box

Journalists asked for help and protection in the session hall, and asked members of parliament to influence the situation. In turn, MPs claimed to the guards that such orders could not be made. After that, some MPs, including Katerynchuk, climbed into the press box, hampered the guards to expel journalists.

Those journalists who left the pres box, were not allowed to return by the guards.

According to UNIAN, the guards motivate their actions by saying that the session of Parliament was not taking place. Asked to name the person who ordered to expel the journalists, the guards refuse to reveal it, and only stated that it was the order of the Verkhovna Rada.
