Kyiv, Dec. 2 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has said that the constitutional reform remains urgent.

"The holding of the constitutional reform is urgent," he said on ICTV Channel on Monday evening.

Yushchenko again stressed the need to form a nationwide constitutional commission, which should be comprised of government representatives, experts in constitutional law and scientists who will suggest their amendments and supplements to the main law.

yes constitutional reform is urgent but Ukraine should not head in the direction Yushchenko advocates. Ukraine should adopt a European model of parliamentary democracy and abandon the Presidential model. The presidential system has failed Ukraine. If Ukraine wants to become a member of the EU then it should, like all other former FSU states, become a parliamentary democracy. Yushchenko continues to oppose Ukraine\'s democratic development and the transition form Presidential \'rule by decree\' dictatorship to parliamentary \'rule of law\' democracy. Yushchenko;proposals must be rejected and Ukraine must put an end to the tyranny of presidential rule if it is to embrace true democratic values.

Revoke immunity for the gilded bureaucratic class and bring all the people under the rule of law should
be a top priority.
