The political council of the party appealed to the international community with a statement about the actions of the President Poroshenko in Russia's interests, pulling collaborators from "The Opposition Bloc" into the power. The Party will continue to fight for the unity and independence of the country and bring all traitors to justice. Coalition allies of Block Poroshenko demand urgent convening of an extraordinary session of the Verkhovna Rada, where they want to hear the Prosecutor General and the head of the SSU. According to the factions arrest of Korban looks as political repression and returns the country to the time of President Yanukovych. One of the MPs left the BPP faction in protest.
