Quote: Next week will see Yulia Tymoshenko pass the hundred day mark since she was theatrically voted in as Prime Minister last December. Since returning to office the fiery reformer has thrown herself into a programme of social spending and anti-corruption measures that has jolted the country out of its political slumber and now threatens to provide new impetus to the Orange ambitions first given voice during the 2004 revolution which she helped lead
Whether you love the lady in the braids or simply can’t stand her, there is no denying that it has been an action-packed and explosive first hundred days for Tymoshenko’s new administration. The country’s World Trade Association membership ambitions have finally been realised after over ten years of dawdling and indecisiveness, while relations with the EU have benefited from an entirely new dynamic as Tymoshenko has made a series of well-received visits to Brussels with her team of integration experts.
On the home front campaign pledges to raise pensions, increase social payments and initiate a repayment scheme for the millions who lost their life savings in the Soviet banking collapse of 1991 have been followed through, leading to both widespread acclaim and accusations of dangerously inflationary populism. The most ambitious privatisation programme in years has been put together and an advisory council of foreign investors set up.
