The referendum question was: “Are you for or against the Approval Act of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine?”
The ruling parties were in favor of the approval act. The No vote won in the end with 61%, but with an attendance of 32%.
After the referendum the following points were added to the act.
-
No establishment of EU candidate status to Ukraine through this agreement
-
No guarantees of military aid or security guarantees to Ukraine
-
No freedom of Ukrainians to reside or work in the EU
-
No increases of bilateral financial support to Ukraine based on the agreement
-
The goal to work towards reduction of corruption in Ukraine, and (as a last resort) to suspend the Agreement if not enough progress is made.
Seems they didn’t follow through
The EU in general treats public opinion and referendums like the whimsical impossible things a child might imagine being able to do.
Oh yeah I remember voting for this but I can’t remember what I voted for lol.
They started the process on their ban on referedums after this lol. Shows what happens if you go against the already established narrative.
I was 17 when this happened so I couldn’t vote, but I was a lib then so I probably would’ve voted Yes or abstained from voting
Seems they didn’t follow through
Really small text at the bottom:
*Unless Big Brother USA orders us
DA: Jeg kan ikke sige jeg er overrasket.
EN: I can’t say I’m surprised.
