What happened: the line of self-censorship was crossed by violating the social contract

For the last 11 years, Ukraine has had an unwritten agreement not to eliminate the achievements of the Revolution of Dignity, especially the course to Europe. While this agreement was in effect, each ruling team was forgiven for many things, because the main thing was preserved.

Knowing about the special sensitivity of European partners to the issue of corruption in the upper echelons of power and the independence of anti-corruption bodies, a significant part of society perceived yesterday's events as a reversal of the European course. And this is what the whole country is based on – the dream of a European, not Russian, future.

I would note that we can argue about the legal details, but it makes no sense. Common sense says that the independence of investigators means the absence of political control by those they are investigating, otherwise everything turns into a farce.
