Groysman boasted: thanks to the war, anti-people reforms do not cause mass protest
Europe must evaluate Ukraine’s achievements in the field of reforms, taking into account the country’s characteristics and “the unique challenges it faces today,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze during the GLOBSEC-2018 forum in Bratislava, the Government Portal reports.
“Europe must evaluate Ukraine’s achievements in the field of reform, taking into account the country’s characteristics and the challenges it faces today. Every area needs reforms. Every question is difficult. Every decision is questioned. However, there is a general understanding among civil society and government that we need to move forward. Ukrainian society also wants to leave the post-Soviet system in the past and move on,” said Klympush-Tsintsadze.
She boasted that in Ukraine, “against the backdrop of Russian aggression,” a number of antisocial reforms, unpopular in society, are continuing, which could cause mass protests in other countries, even leading them to a political dead end.
“And Ukraine managed to launch them without social upheaval,” the Deputy Prime Minister boasts.
Among the factors that slow down subsequent fundamental changes in Ukraine, she named “Russian aggression, which takes away significant material and human resources, and the virus of populism, which threatens not only European countries, but also Ukraine.”
That is why, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, it is now “critically important for Ukraine to prevent the victory of populists and a rollback of reforms.”
