Yulia Tymoshenko: the new government is creating a propaganda machine

Yulia Tymoshenko believes that President Viktor Yanukovych will do his utmost to turn the central television channels into a propaganda machine.

"I’m convinced that he will use law enforcement to repress the opposition. I have no doubt that he won’t be any more original than his ‘father’ Kuchma," Yulia Tymoshenko said during a press conference today.

The leader of the opposition also predicts that Viktor Yanukovych will try to usurp power by placing his people in top government positions.

"All of this is aimed at multiplying his entourage’s billions. I have no illusions about who has come to power. I am sure that salaries at the companies they own won’t reach European levels. I’m sure that that they will find a way to not increase social standards, and once again deceive the people. I believe these illusions will slowly disappear in those people who for some reason voted for Yanukovych," Yulia Tymoshenko said.
