The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has overridden the president's veto on the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Law of Ukraine 'On Local Self-Government in Ukraine'." 326 people's deputies of Ukraine voted to override the veto, reports a proUA correspondent. \n \nRecall that this Law proposes to supplement one of the articles of the Law of Ukraine "On Local Self-Government in Ukraine" with a provision according to which, in the event of early suspension of the powers of a village, settlement, or city head or the impossibility of performing their powers, the powers of the head will be exercised by the secretary of the respective council until the newly elected head takes office. \n \nIn addition, the Law states that in the event of early suspension of the powers of a village, settlement, or city head, the respective council appoints and holds early elections of the head instead of the one who left, in accordance with the Law "On Elections of Village, Settlement, and City Heads" within a 130-day period from the moment of early suspension of their powers. \n\nPreviously, when imposing the veto, the President of Ukraine noted that the changes proposed by the law are unacceptable, since it is known that a village, settlement, or city head elected by the entire territorial community is the chief official of the territorial community of the respective village, settlement, or city and in this connection has a broad range of powers that characterize them as a guarantor of the protection of the rights of the population of the respective administrative-territorial unit.\n\nTherefore, in the president's opinion, the transfer of these powers to any other person, including the secretary of the council, cannot occur automatically, as proposed in the law.
