This is the real America. Not the "good blood volume, no ifs, ands or buts," pats on the back of the dictators of the earth, and the much-vaunted "change", overwhelmed by an embarrassing flood of oil. But, one that leads to the world the image of the U.S. - and with it, like it or not, all of the West - in a responsible manner, protecting the development of democracy and human rights in every corner of the planet. Bearers of this concept, unfortunately, there are only a few. However, they are still able to influence, act and improve the lives of those people who do not yet enjoy the freedom, or who have recently obtained the information.
Il fatto in questione riguarda l'Ucraina, Paese che la democrazia l'ha ottenuta, pacificamente e con l'efficace arma della non violenza, con la rivoluzione arancione del 2004. Allora, guidati da Julija Tymoshenko, l'anima della protesta, e Viktor Jushchenko, il futuro presidente, gli ucraini sfidarono il freddo invernale, e scesero in piazza per dire basta a controllo e terrore politico di eredità sovietica, in favore di un Paese finalmente giusto, democratico ed europeo. Sei anni più tardi, alla carica di Capo dello Stato è salito Viktor Janukovych, ex rivale degli arancioni. Lo ha fatto correndo in elezioni che gli osservatori internazionali hanno certificato come regolari, dichiarando ufficialmente l'Ucraina un Paese politically mature.
Nevertheless, some provisions of the new government - established by a few days after Yanukovych's presidential nomination, drawing only from men of his party, the Partija Rehioniv - were at the limit of democratic standards mentioned above. Last but not least, the electoral law for local elections next October 31, launched in July. The author of the bill, the leader of parliament Partija Rehioniv, Oleksandr Jefremov, drafted a document that, in addition to a complex mechanism for appointing members of electoral commissions, prohibits participation in local consultations not only block, signs and alliances of political actors, but also to those parties registered for less one year from the date of the election. A porcellum Ukrainian. Which inevitably penalizes the democratic opposition forces in the Rada: the Tymoshenko Block and the alliance "Nasha Ukrajina-Narodna Samooborona", consisting of different partisan forces to counter those now in government, and the Communists Partija Rehioniv of Kompartija. Both are known parties.
against this law not only individuals and organizations have rallied opposition - Bat'kivshchyna, the party of Yulia Tymoshenko, has appealed to the court and, together with other players penalized by the decree, called a general mobilization at the Rada on September 7th, the date of resumption of parlamentare - ma anche organizzazioni internazionali hanno espresso obiezioni, invitando Janukovych a non firmare o a modificare sensibilmente il testo del DDL.
Lo scorso 19 agosto, l'International Republican Institute ed il National Democratic Institute hanno diffuso un memorandum in cui, in maniera dettagliata, si evidenziano le varie criticità ad un progetto di legge ritenuto antidemocratico. Sopratutto, a causa del divieto alla partecipazione elettorale a tutti quei soggetti non partitici o che, pur sotto forma di partito, sono stati registrati dopo il 31 ottobre dello scorso anno. Inoltre, le due istituzioni americane, afferenti ad entrambe le forze politiche del sistema bipartitico americano, hanno espresso perplessità sul diritto alla appointment of members of local electoral commissions only to the forces represented in Parliament - apart from those already mentioned, the Lytvyn Block, more penalized, despite her membership in the majority - believed to be potential source of internal tensions, loss of confidence in the electoral tool, more generally, in politics.
"The law - gives the memorandum - limits the political rights of minors and those political forces which have established recently, even the initiative of MPs, even ministers, like the" Front zmin "by Arseny Jacenjuk [Parliamentary Nasha Ukrajina, speaker and former presidential candidate in the past, nda] and "Sylna Ukrajina" Serhij Tihipko of [the current Deputy Prime Minister with responsibility for energy affairs, ranked third, in January, with a substantial 13%, nda]. These individuals - continues the document - should be able to compete with the major parties, in parliament today. So how to take the field can also be alliances between various parties and associations. The restrictions imposed on independent candidates with the same contrast with Ukrainian legislation and international obligations that Kyiv has accepted. If you do not stop the dependence of the elite in the old town, historical parties, the will and free choice of the electors of their representatives in local government will be trampled. A puff of sound
ears, which led to the prompt reaction Kyiv. On the day of Saturday, August 21, the presidential administration has notified their intention to amend the Head of State, in short, some articles of the bill Jefremov, so as to produce a new version to be submitted to Parliament's vote as early as the first session. The news, the Dzherkalo Tyzhnja, trusted source, who explained in detail the nature of the changes. As it happens, Yanukovych intends to delete the paragraph which prohibits participation in the elections to parties registered for less than 365 days from the date of the consultations, and change the policy of setting up of local electoral commissions, granting the parties represented in Parliament to nominate five States, and, all other competitors, three in total.
In the opinion of many political scientists, to push the amendment of Yanukovych Ukrainian porcellum were just the two U.S. organizations, with their joint document. In addition, a protest would be the same deputy, Serhij Tihipko, whose political force, Sylna Ukrajina, was recorded only in the aftermath of recent presidential elections, in February. Nevertheless, the same experts invited to consider the advantages which, in reality, they pushed the head of state to the blurring of the DDL. Not only the will to put in a good light before the international community, especially the U.S.. The presence of political forces recently training, by the same "Sylna Ukrajina" to the Front of Arseny Jacenjuk zmin, erode democratic opposition parties consents to the large, first to the Iron Lady of Ukraine, Bat'kivshchyna. A trend confirmed by the latest polls.
fact is that Yanukovych did not change the clause excluding from the electoral race blocks and alliances form in which the political forces of the democratic opposition were always present and, therefore, are known, even more distracted by the voters . In addition, unpleasant stress that to push the Ukrainian Head of State to make even partial changes to the law in democratic institutions have been chaired by Republican presidential candidate USA, John McCain, and former Secretary of State in the Clinton administration, Albright Marlene, and the major institution in the country. That White House, once a beacon of democracy in the world today in the hands of champions golf and swimming, he forgets his mission in foreign policy, frightened by the Russian gas, and riunciataria before the Iranian missiles.
