1:02 pm
ukraine's politics swiftly and almost unanimously the country's constitutional court decided to revert the country's political system back to the constitution of nine hundred ninety six the court a bullish demand mr the country's main court of laws made in december two thousand and four during the election battle between victory and victory on the court which the events which led to the famous orange revolution back then the changes entailed that the country will transfer from presidential to parliamentary republic and those changes were meant to structure arise the country's political system but it's the nature of these amendments were done which was questioned by both the ruling party of regents and the constitutional court that the q i pronounced the amendments to the constitution approved on the eighth of december two thousand and four to be unconstitutional as when they were approved the law was violated many times the abolition of the amendments is effective immediately. the decision by the
1:03 pm
constitutional court comes after several months of deliberation on whether the change was actually needed it was proposed by the ruling coalition in parliament but the initiative itself surely came from president ever since he took office in fabry twenty ten has been trying to change the political landscape of ukraine and centralize power this decision is seen as the final step in that from now on present which has several of his very important powers returned to him. the president used to have much less power in deciding who is going to be the country's prime minister as he was very much dependent on parliament after this decision you can more easily dismiss prime minister desire of if you choose or used to do so the two thousand and four political reform transferred several very important powers from president to parliament or coding to authors of the reform this was meant to make ukraine stronger and more politically structure right.
1:04 pm
eventually according to those who initiated the changes this time this did not happen on several occasions political crisis led to dissolution of parliament and reelections former country's leader president you should try to abolish these changes on several occasions but he failed to do that now after he found himself in opposition he changed his mind completely and criticizes the power saying that the constitutional court's decision may cause a constitutional chaos in ukraine the opposition in general is very critical of this move by the constitutional court. the country's president of the country's parliament who were elected according to the constitution of two thousand and four that means that we are going to demand an immediate resignation of the president and the prime minister and the dissolution of parliament and to hold early elections there is a saying in this part of the world that everything new is in fact a well forgotten old this is generally a joke but it seriously applies to ukrainian constitution the court's decision is
1:05 pm
final undisputable and takes effect immediately the only question is how soon will the government and state bodies be able to convert to the old constitution of one thousand nine hundred ninety six. r.t. reporting from ukraine's capital kiev. first get more now on what this means for ukraine from covering sky she's a political analyst for the moscow based institute of world economy and international relations thanks for being with us tonight so we hear the decisions being made there's no going back on it what are the consequences likely to be them . in fact the consequences may be very wide and or otherwise they may be may be assured by saying that i mean that political reform. five years ago six years ago in fact was was a sort of political compromise which i loved in fact two to finalize the election round but the result of political reef. form was
1:06 pm
a stalemate in ukraine because there were three centers of power there was a parliament it took over a that was a very strong prime minister and there was a president probably a weak president and that is why we had in ukraine this political chaos and problems for crisis in fact for four five or six years. today's decision means that eat in fact fix is the political status quo war as it is now in ukraine even this situation social and political in the country stable even president unocal which manages to improve economic and social situation i do not think that that political restructuring and there will be political restructuring in fact will cause the crisis because the opposition in ukraine political opposition is rather de come solid dated eve he fails in come nomics fear well there is of course the consequences may be may be far going the previous president thinks you should also
1:07 pm
try to roll but these reforms today but he failed at the time why they go through no how come we can succeed to do things. well in fact i started to answer this question here president you shouldn't being charming. politician with charisma in fact was rather weak and the opposition to him was rather strong that paradox of you shouldn't go was that he became the president just due to this political reform and the road back in his case was was was not logical even what is going to mean for the stability now in ukraine we heard in report there that you need to machine because bloc are considering very very say they're going to counter it and even call for new presidential elections is it going to be one big mess all over again you think after this. charging by the political situation in ukraine as. it is now i do not think that the consequences will be it will be
1:08 pm
detrimental for stability again well ukraine is rather tired of political crisis nonstop political crisis for many years and much will depend on the economic situation in. the well there is a certain a consensus between present here and called each and some of the governors well he has strong support even in the parliament so i do not think that the world the instability may be caused by the fact of this decision by constitutional court eve the reason stability will have another in the source is another reasons this of course happening as governors across europe are struggling with tough reforms as a result of the global recession what you're saying so far is that this looks like it is good news or do you think ukraine's power shift will help it overcome its own deep economic problems. yano carve each has
1:09 pm
a good connections with ukrainian business and in fact that helped him very much to become the president. well of course in the station after cries out of crisis is very difficult in the summer was difficult. but still there is support from russia financial support there is financial support from i.m.f. in due to this financial support if ukraine manages to go through this winter much will depend of course on the weather with it is cold or not i think that. ukraine will not be worse in the worst situation than the other countries which are coming out of this crisis recovering scar i was good to hear your views on the program putting them less from the moscow based thing to the institute of world economy and international relations as you are thank you. spending a holiday on remote islands probably as far away as it gets but maybe not for much
