Ukraine: Pension Reform; Multiple Voting by MPs · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

Foreign Notes writes about Ukraine's pension reform, which was passed by the parliament yesterday, highlighting the “breathaking arrogance” and disrespect for law by the people who run the country: “248 deputies voted in support of today's [pension reform] motion even though it seems only 143 deputies were actually registered to vote in the parliament building. Multiple voting by deputies is a blantant contravention of the country's Constitution, but takes place with numbing regularity.”
