Ukrainian MP and Civil Position Party leader Anatoliy Hrytsenko has said he doubts that the opposition will be able to get a repeal of the amendments to the Constitution made in 2010 and is convinced that even a return to the old Constitution will not change the situation in the country.
“I have serious doubt that there are already [enough] votes to bring Ukraine back to the old Constitution, or, as was stated, enough votes to compile a list [of candidates] and appoint a new government,” he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Monday, Feb.17.
Hrytsenko said that people had gathered on the Maidan not because they only needed amendments to the Constitution.
“Perhaps it may be the first step, but we really do not need the Constitution of 2004. We need a Constitution in which there will be no centralization of power, and which will outline mechanisms of genuine local government, parliamentary control over law enforcement agencies and a proper judiciary sphere,” he said.
