On her Facebook page, she was outraged by the statement Tevkun about the naturalness of the risks of ineffective decisions. As a result, a scandal arose on the network.

Aratovskaya noted that the experts who developed the law themselves do not know whether it will work.

"European donors wasted their money on the ignorant," she wrote.
