Arseniy Yatsenyuk calls for referendum on making changes into Constitution: No one except for the Ukrainian people has the right to determine what the fundamental law will be

"The time has come for the Ukrainian people to have their say on what a new Ukrainian constitution in a new European Ukraine should be. No one except for the Ukrainian people has the right to determine what the fundamental law will be," emphasised Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk in his address on Sunday, January 24.

The Head of Government stressed that a constitutional referendum is "a direct popular rule in a free and democratic country, for which we were fighting on the Maidan two years ago and are now protecting with arms in hands."

"A new constitution is a new social contract between citizens and the power which they have elected. An accord on the distribution of rights and responsibility inside the very power - between the President, Government and Parliament. An accord on relations between the center and regions. An accord on establishing a new honest and just court, but not reappointing the current one. An accord on a Ukraine’s accurate geopolitical aim to become a member of the European Union and NATO."

"I am convinced that the Head of State has the same principles," Arseniy Yatseniuk underlined.
