Ukraine needs new election law, reshuffles in CEC, but these processes stopped – EU ambassador
Head of the European Union Delegation to Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli has stressed the need for a new law on elections and appointment of new members of the Central Election Commission in the country.
"We need to promote the renewal of the political class... For this to happen we need an electoral law and we need a new Central Election Commission. For reasons that I cannot understand, these reforms have completely stopped," he said in Kyiv on Thursday during the panel discussion of the VII national expert forum "Points of Growth" organized by the Gorshenin Institute.
The diplomat said that in his opinion Ukraine has great potential, but it faces both challenges from abroad in the form of Russian aggression, and internal ones, such as "the absence of the rule of law, which is the main obstacle to economic growth."
