Love a leader who listens to his constituents.

Yeah, that would be a pleasant change of pace.

So what was that about? Is there risk of Russian influence on the anti corruption organization ?

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 15 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Just politicians wanting to control corruption watchdogs, so they can be corrupt.

He has reversed that.

It's tricky because it could be both things. Russia excels at subverting well-intentioned rules.

Worth noting that he also signed into law the earlier revocation of the independence of those anti-corruption watch dogs.

It's good that he's reversed course on this. But concerning that he was willing to sign the first bill. Perhaps it's just a sign of the strain he's under, I don't know.

well they had a spy in there. he may have overreacted, but spies are troublesome in that part of government. it's probably not the last we heard about it.
