Blue &Yellow: Politics and Economics in Ukraine

"There must and will be the supremacy of law in Ukraine. This is the main principle of democracy. Any decision by a court, let alone Constitutional, must be complied with by the President, the Cabinet and the Verkhovna Rada," the head of state told a press conference led jointly with Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski in the Livadia Palace in Yalta on Friday.

President Yanukovych quoted after the Constitutional Court cancelled the 2004 political reforms put in place when his predecessor won. The court remained completely silent on this issue during Yushchenko's presidency, yet miraculously the court cancels the amendments for President Yanukovych. And slowly president Yanukovych returns Ukraine to the managed democracy under Kuchma with a weak press and a controlled Rada. If Tymoshenko's party wins a majority in the next Rada elections the president would have the upper hand in that relationship.
