Merkel: Oekraïne is een dictatuur vergelijkbaar met Wit-Rusland. Buitenland De Duitse bondskanselier Angela Merkel heeft hard uitgehaald naar de regering van Oekraïne, één van de twee gastlanden van het EK Voetbal volgende maand.
Merkel zei dat de bevolking van de Oekraïne onder “dictatuur en repressie” leeft, vergelijkbaar met de situatie in buurland Wit-Rusland. Merkel deed haar uitspraken vandaag in het Duitse parlement. De harde woorden van Merkel over de regering van de Oekraïense president Viktor Janoekovitsj staan in verband met de vermoedelijk slechte behandeling van Joelia Timosjenko, de Oekraïense oud-premier die een gevangenisstraf van zeven jaar uitzit wegens ambtsmisbruik. Druk op Oekraïne verder verhoogd in aanloop naar EK Voetbal De politieke situatie en detentie van Timosjenko zorgen de laatste weken voor veel ophef. Merkel lijkt dus vandaag de druk nog wat verder op te voeren. Merkel verhoogt de druk.

De top werd door de meeste regeringsleiders geboycot uit protest tegen de behandeling van de gevangen oud-premier Joelia Timosjenko. Meer dan twaalf staatshoofden weigerden om de top op 11 en 12 mei bij te wonen, nadat Timosjenko in hongerstaking ging uit protest tegen vermeende mishandeling in de gevangenis. Het Oekraïense ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken zegt dat de top wordt uitgesteld tot een later tijdstip.

The Orange Revolution (Ukrainian: Помаранчева революція, Pomarancheva revolyutsiya) was a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine from late November 2004 to January 2005, in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election which was claimed to be marred by massive corruption, voter intimidation and direct electoral fraud.
Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, was the focal point of the movement's campaign of civil resistance, with thousands of protesters demonstrating daily.[5] Nationwide, the democratic revolution was highlighted by a series of acts of civil disobedience, sit-ins, and general strikes organised by the opposition movement. In 2010 Yanukovych became Yushchenko's successor as Ukrainian President after the Central Election Commission and international observers declared that the presidential election were fairly conducted.[7] Background[edit] Gongadze assassination/Kuchmagate crisis[edit] Pora!
