Prime Minister
of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk calls for holding a referendum on constitutional
amendments in Ukraine.
Such statement
the prime minister made in his television address.
"It is time for Ukrainian
people to have their say in the issue of Ukraine’s new Constitution in new
European Ukraine. No one but the people of Ukraine has the right to determine
the Fundamental Law," the prime minister said.
Yatsenyuk also emphasized that
the referendum on the Constitution would constitute "genuine people’s
authority in a free and democratic country, for which we fought on the Maidan
two years ago, and which we are now defending by force of arms."
"The new
Constitution is a new social contract between citizens and the authorities
which they have elected. The contract on the distribution of rights and
responsibilities within the governing bodies – between the president, the
government and the parliament.
The contract on relations between the center and
regions. The contract on the establishment of a new, fair and honest trial. The
contract on a clear geopolitical goal of Ukraine, which consists in becoming a
member of the European Union and NATO," Yatsenyuk said.
"I am convinced that the
head of state upholds the same principles," the prime minister added.
