5The October 28, 2012 parliamentary elections in Ukraine are likely to be best-remembered for widespread protest voting, seemingly endless vote counts in disputed voting districts, allegations of vote-rigging and a rather lackluster public protest in Kyiv.Ny fifidianana parlemantera natao ny 28 Oktobra 2012 tao Okraina no toa hotsaroana tsara tsy isalasalàna ho fifidianana fanoherana niely patrana indrindra, fanisàm-bato toy ny tsy hitsahatra tany amin'ireo distrika tena niadiana fatratra, fiahiahiana hala-bato ary hatraminà hetsi-bahoaka motramotraka tao Kiev.
6However, an abundance of citizen media reports, live online broadcasts and other monitoring initiatives is what makes this election - not to mention violations that occurred before, during and after the vote - memorable.Kanefa, betsaka tatitra avy amin'ireo median'olon-tsotra, fampitàna mivantana tety anaty aterineto ary hetsika hafa ho fanarahamaso no nahatonga ity fifidianana ity - raha tsy hitanisa ireo fandikàn-dalàna nitranga tany aloha, nandritra sy taorian'ny fifidianana - ho fitadidy.
7As Ukrainska Pravda journalist Kateryna Avramchuk commented [uk] via Twitter on the situation at one of the contested voting districts:Araka izay nanamarihan'[uk] ilay mpanao gazety Kateryna Avramchuk avy amin'ny Ukrainska Pravda tao amin'ny Twitter ny teo-javatra nisy tao amin'ny distrika iray izay nifamaliana mafy tokoa resaka vaton-pifidianana :
8@avramchuk_katya: There's a live broadcast of our votes being stolen […] And you expect people not to be apolitical after that?@avramchuk_katya: Misy ny fampitàna mivantana ny mikasika ny fangalàrana ny vatontsika […] Dia ny andrasanareo dia hoe mba tsy ho leo politika ny olona aorian'izany ve?

11Eight years ago, electoral fraud during the 2004 presidential vote sparked the protests that came to be known as the Orange Revolution.Valotaona lasa izay, niteraka hetsi-panoherana izay nanjary fantatra tsara amin'ny hoe Revolisiona Orange ny halatra nandritra ny fifidianana izay ho filoham-pirenena natao tamin'ny 2004.
12The opposition won back then, but later failed to properly investigate the numerous violations and to prosecute those responsible.Azon'ny mpanohitra avy eo ny fandresena, saingy taoriana kely dia tsy mba nanadihady akory mikasika ireo fandikàn-dalàna marobe sy nanenjika ireo tomponandraikitra.
13Some of the accused even ended up receiving state awards.Ho an'ny sasany tamin'ireo voampanga aza dia mbola niafara tamin'ny fandraisany mari-pankasitrahana avy amin'ny fanjakana.
14This, alongside the constant infighting, eventually eroded much of the public support that the victorious “Orange” team used to enjoy.Io, ankoatry ny fifandirana anatiny tsy mitsahatra, no mety nampihena betsaka ny fanohanana nasehon'ny vahoaka ny ekipa “Orange”.
15The attitude of many Ukrainian voters today is reflected well enough in this Facebook comment [uk]:Ny fihetsiky ny Okrainiana mpifidy marobe androany dia azo tarafina tsara mihitsy ao anatin'ity fanehoankevitra tamin'ny Facebook ity [uk]:
16…People say they don't want to [join street protests] because they have already given their votes - and now let [the opposition politicians] fight with the regime for their [parliament seats] on their own……Niteny ny olona fa tsy te-[hanatevin-daharana hetsika an-dalambe intsony] satria efa nandrotsaka ny vatony izy ireo - ary ankehitriny dia hamela irery [ny mpanao politika mpanohitra] hiady amin'ny fitondràna izay ho [seza parlemantera] ho azy….
17The current post-election situation stems from impunity and systematic corruption prevalent in Ukraine.Ny zava-misy ankehitriny taorian'ny fifidianana dia vokatry ny tsimatimanota sy ny kolikoly tandra vadin-koditra ao Okraina.
18But it also offers the opposition yet another chance to make up for its past mistakes.Fa manome ihany koa ny mpanohitra vintana iray io mba hanonerana ny hadisoany tany aloha.
19Politicians and citizens may disagree on the best strategy for re-establishing the true will of voters in these circumstances (a complete or partial re-vote, or just a re-count of the votes in contested districts).Mety tsy hiombon-kevitra mikasika izay tetikady lafatra hamerenana ny fahamarinana marina takian'ny mpifidy amin'ny vanim-potoana toy izao ireo mpanao politika sy ny olom-pirenena tsotra ( fifidianana manontolo, na ampahany, na famerenana ny fanisàm-bato any amin'ireo distrika nifanjevoana).
20Most, however, agree that the opposition has to stick together this time, taking legal action against the perpetrators of electoral fraud, and seeing it through - instead of just talking about the necessity to do so.Ny betsaka, na izany aza, dia manaiky fa tokony hiray hina ny mpanohitra amin'ity indray mitoraka ity, nanao hetsika mifanaraka amin'ny lalàna hanenjika ireo nanao fandikàn-dalàna tamin'ny fifidianana, ary tsy hiraviravy tànana - fa tsy fotsiny hiresaka mikasika ny tokony hanaovana izany.
21Olga Ajvazovska, coordinator of electoral programs at Civil Network OPORA, argued [uk] against re-voting in the contested districts:Olga Ajvazovska, mpandrindra ny fandaharanasan.pifidianana ao amin'ny Tambajotra Sivily OPORA, dia nanamafy [uk] fa manohitra ny famerenana ny fifidianana any amin'ireo fari-piadidiana nisian'ny fanoherana valim-pifidianana:
22[…] If this week the world has seen [riot police] “counting” the votes and candidates kidnapping heads of [district election commissions] with their [official] stamps, then in 60 days [in time for a partial re-vote] we may witness some shooting.[…] Raha tamin'ity herinandro ity izao tontolo izao nahita [polisy mpandrava korontana] “nanisa” vatom-pifidianana sy mpirotsaka hofidiana naka an-keriny lehibenà [kaomisionam-pifidianana any amin'ny distrika] miaraka min'ny fitomboka [ofisialy], avy eo afaka andro aty aoriana [ao anatin'ny fotoana tokony hanaovana ny famerenana fifidianana] mety ho vavolombelona hanatrimaso fifampitifirana isika.
23[…] Is there really anyone who thinks that a new campaign will secure a victory for those who have already won in these districts?[…] Tena misy olona ve mihevitra fa ny fampielezan-kevitra iray vaovao dia afaka hiantoka fandresena o an'ireo izay efa nandresysahady tany amin'ireny distrika ireny?
24[…] The winners have lost [due to fraud], and the losers will win [in case of a re-vote].[…] Resy [noho ny halatra] ireo mpandresy, ary ireo resy no handresy [raha misy ny famerenana fifidianana].
25If no one goes to jail for falsifications, then the fate of this campaign has already been decided.Raha tsy misy iray alefa any am-ponja noho ny fanaovana hosoka, dia efa fantatra mialoha sahady ny vokatr'io fampielezan-kevitra io…..
26Mykola Kniazhytsky, general director of the TVi channel and an oppositional candidate in this election, agreed [uk] with Ajvazovska:Mykola Kniazhytsky, tale jeneralin'ny fantsom-pahitalavitra TVi sady mpirotsaka avy amin'ny lafy mpanohitra tamin'ity fifidianana ity, dia niombon-kevitra tamin'i [uk] Ajvazovska :
27[…] The people have won honestly.[…] Azon'ny vahoaka ny fahamendrehana.
28If we decide to schedule a re-vote, it should happen only after criminal charges are filed against the falsifiers.Raha toa isika hanapa-kevitra hamerina fifidianana, dia tokony ho aorian'ny fampidirana fanenjehana araka ny lalàna atao an'ireo izay nanao hosoka izany vao atao.
29Otherwise, we'll be exonerating and encouraging them.Raha tsy izany, dia manadio azy ireny sy mandrisika azy hanohy isika
30Andriy Parubiy, another opposition candidate, favored a re-count [uk] over a re-vote and suggested [uk] creating a public nationwide register of election fraudsters, “from [President Viktor Yanukovych] to heads of [local election commissions]” [uk].Andriy Parubiy, mpirotsaka iray hafa avy amin'ny mpanohitra, dia nankasitraka ny famerenana fanisàm-bato [uk] miohatra amin'ny famerenana fifidianana ary nanoso-kevitra [uk] hananganana fitànana an-tsoratra manerana ny firenena, ho an'ny daholobe, hiraketana ireo hosoka ara-pifidianana ” avy amin'ny [Filoha Viktor Yanukovych] hatrany amin'ireo lehibe mpitarika [ny kaomisionam-pifidianana isam-paritra]” [uk]
31It remains to be seen, however, whether any of those responsible for the current crisis will ever be brought to justice.Ny sisa andrasana ho hita, anefa, dia raha hisy amin'ireo tomponandraikitry ny krizy amin'izao fotoana ireo ho toriana sy ho tonga eny anoloan'ny fitsarana.
