PEREMOHA (Victory) - Or Just The First Step
Just a few minutes ago the Supreme Court of Ukraine invalidated the results of the second round of the presidential elections. Ukrainians will cast their vote for Viktor Yushchenko or Viktor Yanukovich for a third time on December 26, 2004.
"Today, the court system proved that it exists and it works", said a protester. The sense in the air is that people will no longer be scared to stand up for their rights and will oppose violations.
The decision for the annulment of the second round was based on the evidence for numerous violations done with vitkriplia posvitcheni (absentee forms), among others. The Parliament (Verhovna Rada) is expected to vote an amendment to the procedure next week. Maybe by a stamp in the passport? It makes sense, many other countries do it.
How clean will the next elections be? I’ll keep you updated.
Until then, let’s see what else is happening around the world.
