Opposition
forces negotiated a new unity government to be headed by Arseniy Yatsenyuk
as Prime Minister. The strongest part of the new government is the many leaders
from the Maidan. Members of the cabinet are presented for approval to the
people continuing to protest and stay in Maidan, prior to the formal presentation
in the Parliament on the 27th.
In spite
of the establishment of a unity government the Maidan remains:
“words are not enough” they will not disband until the new government demonstrates
in action that it understands the meaning of transparency, anti-corruption,
and respect for the rights of citizens. The people want peace and they want
change. In the words of one woman interviewed in Maidan on 24-Feb, the
people want politicians who take their work seriously and professionally.
