Ukraine: Pension Reform; Multiple Voting by MPs

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Ukraine, Governance, Labor, Law, Politics

Foreign Notes writes [1] 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.”
