Great Political Reform

On September 7, 2017, at a briefing in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the creation of the socio-political movement (NGO) "The Initiative of Real Action" was announced with Mykhailo Lev being its executive director.[9]

By the initiative of "The Initiative of Real Action", together with partners from other NGOs who lobbied the adoption of the law on the Anti-Corruption Court and electoral reform, it was decided to hold a campaign on October 17, called "Great Political Reform", and included three key requirements :

  • Restriction of parliamentary immunity (Draft law № 6773);
  • Open voter lists (Draft law № 1068-2);
  • Establishment of the Anti-Corruption Court.[10]

Various meetings in the cities of Ukraine were also held as part of the campaign.

Campaign results:

  • 3, October, 2017 - the Conciliation Council of the Verkhovna Rada managed to get the Draft laws on the restriction of parliamentary immunity (№6773) and on the establishment of an anti-corruption court (№6011) on the agenda of the session; [11]
  • 17, October - during the Campaign itself, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy instructed the special committee to urgently consider the Draft law on the restriction of parliamentary immunity;[12]
  • 19, October - the Verkhovna Rada transfered Draft law on the restriction of parliamentary immunity №6773 by 328 votes to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to obtain an opinion on its accordance with the constitutionality of Ukraine, as required by the procedure.[13]

As to this day, all three requirements have been implemented by the Ukrainian Government.[14][15][16]

National Unity Coalition SPILNO

Created in December 2018, the National Coalition Coalition SPILNO (a member of which was Mykhailo Lev) aimed to provide a communication platform for democratic leaders and support those who can win the 2019 presidential election.[17]

One of the key initiatives was the signing of a memorandum, according to which, after conducting a poll, the optimal candidate for the presidential election was determined. The rest of those who signed the memorandum, withdrew their candidacies from the elections.[18]
