Media

1ZAKHID TV and Radio Company spoke with Petro Stetsiuk, retired judge of the Constitutional Court, doctor of law, Razumkov Centre research fellow on legal issues, with the Constitution of Ukraine in hands:

About the approaches of the Western civilization and the democratic world to such issues;

  • How such explanations are interpreted, for example, in Germany, Poland, and which institution has the right to such interpretations in Ukraine and in other countries;
  • What the Constitution of Ukraine says about elections of the President, the Verkhovna Rada, local authorities during martial law;
  • What is the fundamental difference between today's situation in the country and the elections called in 2014?
  • Who can make a submission to the Constitutional Court with topical issues of the national importance?

According to the expert, the Constitution cannot regulate absolutely ALL issues, therefore submission to the Constitutional Court on urgent issues of the national importance is possible and quite legal.
