Ukraine's parliament on Nov. 27 declared invalid the disputed presidential election that led to a week of growing street protests. The legislators' move was not legally binding, but was a clear demonstration of rising dissatisfaction. The parliament also passed a vote of no-confidence in the Central Elections Commission, which like the other vote is not legally binding. The elections commission has said Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych won the Nov. 21 presidential election, but opponent Viktor Yushchenko's supporters have streamed into the streets, claiming he was cheated out of victory, a charge supported by Western government. Negotiators from both candidates' camps were expected to meet for talks in a format worked out in consultation with European envoys on Nov. 27 [Kyiv Post]. In un primo momento si era ipotizzato il 12 dicembre come data per la ripetizione. Ma si discute ancora perché si ipotizza un ulteriore slittamento per premettere la modifica della legge elettorale.
