EuroMaidan Revolution
Business New Europe: Clash of principles will lead to deaths, despotism
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych doesn’t concede the right of the protestors on Maidan to demonstrate. The protestors on Maidan don’t concede that Yanukovych is their democratically elected leader, voted in by the people in 2010. This clash has led directly to the escalating violence in Kyiv. The opposition leaders have failed to come up with a plan. The crowds are calling for Yanukovych’s ouster, but a people can’t remove a president when some of them – and the latest polls say only 50% of the population want Yanukovych to leave – just because you don’t like him anymore.
