VR lawmaker Taras Chornovil who resigned from the Party of Regions Oct. 5 says he knows about 2 scenarios being hatched in the president’s office to dissolve VR and disrupt subsequent parliamentary elections, UNIAN reported Oct. 6.

The UNIAN report quotes Chornovil as saying, “I have information that the president’s office is working on 2 dirty scenarios. One of them is to dismiss VR and disrupt the parliamentary elections,” he said.

According to the scenario, the incumbent can dissolve VR on Tuesday or Wednesday. Then, in about two weeks, the president will cancel his own decree.

“The incumbent knows well how to do this - under a make good pretext of letting parliament convene in order to pass changes in the budget to fund parties election campaigns,” the lawmaker said.

Following this, Yushchenko will issue another decree to appoint snap parliamentary elections between Dec. 28 and Jan. 4, 2009 [peak of holiday season in Ukraine]. “One can only assume what the voter turnout will be. I do not think 50% of voters will come to the voting stations,” he opined.

Following his repeat decree on snap elections which can be overturned in courts, the incumbent may call up a constitutional assembly that will replace VR and pass an absolutely new version of the constitution.

In a related move, Yushchenko will dismiss the cabinet and introduce direct presidential rule.

Speaking about the president’s office’s second scenario, Chornovil noted that it hinges on a coalition between the Party of Regions, the Lytvyn bloc and president-controlled part of Our Ukraine.

Yushchenko favors the last scenario the most, Chornovil summed up.

- Taras Chornovil is the not worthy of the same respect as his father, who was murdered. Vechyslaw Chornovil wrote the book "Internationalism or Russification" back in the Early 1970's. Taras C. was a member of the regions and is considered a national traitor by Western Ukrainian Patriots. The person who commented above used the same words as the Aussie Russifier known as "Ukraine Today".

- It is entirely possible that Yuschenko could put the country under Presidential Rule, in case of such a scenario if he survives or not. The attempt would make his Secretariat Mr Baloha try to "come over the top". This is Byzantine Ukraine, and Timoshenko could be accused as usual. The Kremlin is involved in many conspiracies. Watch Crimea during this time.

- This theory has some merit. Yushchenko has shown in the past that he does not respect Ukraine's constitution or the democratic values of rule of law. It needs to be noted that under the provisions of Ukraine's current constitution amendments to the constitution can not proceed under conditions of a state of emergency. If Yushchenko tries implement a Presidential coup as described above then yes Ukraine will face tough times ahead. Taras Chornovil is someone worthy of respect and his words should not be dismissed out of hand. Ukraine must make a stand.They must use this opportunity of another round of elections to send a clear message to Yushchenko that his actions and policy of division must cease. Ukraine should say No to Yushchenko and vote against his party and those who support him. As long as Yushchenko remains in Office Ukraine will never be a true democratic state.
