Official of the Odessa Regional Administration caused a scandal in the minibus.

A scandal occurred in a minibus in Odessa, in which an official of the regional military administration was involved. According to local Telegram channels, this is the deputy head of agricultural policy of the Odessa RMA Natalia Smertenyuk, who formerly worked in the agricultural policy department of the Belgorod-Dnistrovsk RMA. The incident has already been commented on by the administration, reports "Bessarabia Inform".

The cause of the conflict recorded on video by the minibus passengers is not exactly known. It probably arose due to the driver's refusal to stop where asked by the passenger.

The official began to swear and push the driver, after which he did stop.

The acting director of the Department of Agricultural Policy, Food and Land Relations of the Odessa RMA Vitaliy Vlasenko stated that such behavior is not appropriate for a public servant.

"According to the legislation, a service check will be conducted to hold accountable, which will start on Monday. Based on its results, the further tenure in position will be decided," Vlasenko reported.

Earlier, the head of the Odessa regional military administration Oleg Kiper expressed his reaction to the unpleasant situation that occurred on October 3 between an Odessan and an emergency medical technician.
