The fact is Europe can not afford ...Excellent post<br /><br />The fact is Europe can not afford a repeat of its failure back in 2007 when having identified Yushchenko's violations of Ukraine;s Constitution the EU sta back and watch in relative silence. The events in 207 are still being played out today. They undermined Ukraine's confidence in the democratic process and the rules of the game. <br /><br />But the tables have turned. Yanukovych has reversed Ukraine's direction and his persistent efforts to consolidate power and presidential authority has taken Ukraine into dangerous territory. <br /><br />The EU can no longer afford to comprise on principle, It must take a stand and enforce its belief, failure to do so would only further undermine the EU standing and public confidence. things can and would only get worst.UkrTodayhttp://ukrainetoday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086033.post-66461045140828160262011-09-04T17:39:07.114+03:002011-09-04T17:39:07.114+03:00On the same Big Politics show, from September 2, 2...On the same Big Politics show, from September 2, 2011, there was a discussion about<br />- how the so-called opposition is just a bunch of losers who are simply screaming to be brought back to the government (pig) trough after getting kicked out by the last presidential elections, and how, other than that, they have no concrete proposals.<br /><br />What is even more disturbing and astounding is the incredibly cynical attitude displayed - and the lack of ability to think.<br /><br />Tetyana Montayn, and others, correctly pointed out that the poblems in the judicial system have existed for years, so as to nullify jurisprudence in Ukraine.<br /><br />They also correctly pointed out that Tymoshenko and her folks did nothing to reform/improve the non-existent system of jurisprudence.<br /><br />Then, Montayn displayed her lack of ability to think - and an astoundingly cynical attitude.<br /><br />According to her, Tymo is screaming "give me an independent court." Montayn's answer is - "where is this court going to come from, Mars? We have what we have."<br /><br />The point is this - the charges against Tymo and the other 12 former officials SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT - EVEN IN A KANGAROO COURT.<br /><br />What is even worse is Montayn's attitude and apparent belief that nothing can be done in Ukraine to implement a non-corrupt, impartial, independent system of jurisprudence!!!!<br /><br />She then recites how the system works now, with bribes, with judges specially aware of political favors during trial, with "trading" of verdicts, etc.<br /><br />The problems are out in the open, the entire world sees the stalinist show trial system - and even in Ukraine, it's all out in the open, everyone sees it and knows it.<br /><br />But the cynicism and "can't do" attitude is simply astounding!!!<br /><br />PS I think you're right - the EU is not bluffing.elmernoreply@blogger.com
