🗳🏷 Pro-Russian candidates may be marked on ballots: the Rada is discussing “soft lustration” because Western partners are against mass bans — Korniienko
📯🏛 First Deputy Speaker of the Rada Oleksandr Korniienko stated that among the options for post-war elections is an informational, or “soft,” lustration — marking candidates with a pro-Russian political past on ballots. According to him, this idea has been discussed repeatedly with human rights defenders, but no final decision has been made.
📑❌ At the same time, the idea of broadly banning members of banned parties from running, Korniienko said, is poorly received by international partners. He referred to the position of the Venice Commission, which insists on an individual approach to lustration rather than automatic liability for belonging to a certain category. “Maybe this will be some kind of compromise, maybe not. I’m not sure that society will consider such a compromise sufficient,” Korniienko said.
