4-Time Dissolved Rada Sits in Kiev
Ukraine’s Supreme Rada that President Viktor Yushchenko had dissolved four times has met for a regular sitting today, September 4, 2007, UNIAN reported. The parliament will continue working until the elections are held and new deputies get their mandates, vowed Rada’s Speaker Alexander Moroz.
As many as 269 legislators showed up at today’s meeting of Supreme Rada. In addition to deputies representing the Socialist Party of Alexander Moroz, the meeting was attended by spokesmen of the Regions Party, Communist Party and even by some members of the Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko. The better part of deputies of Our Ukraine and Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko had given up mandates to support president’s decision for dissolving the Rada.
Those deputies that still think of themselves as having legitimate status will begin with the bill eliminating the benefits of top bureaucrats, including the right for immunity.
Past night, President Viktor Yushchenko addressed the nation with a special message. Yushchenko reiterated that the parliament had no legal force left and called “a theater” the events happening around the Rada. The arrangers of “this provocation,” the president went on, are willing to hamper elections in fear of losing their personal place in the governance.
