Has been a very very colorful Election Campaign with candidates giving blood tests to test for drugs so the debates on friday in the countrys biggest stadium so this is just part of that excitement tension that weve been seeing of the past weeks. In a debate last week selenski said he would seek to break this system what exactly did he mean by that. So solecki is pitching himself as the face of a new generation someone to really do away with the corrupt status quo after all poroshenko and to machine code for Prime Minister who came in third place theyve all been told at school scene for twenty thirty years and he is someone who on the one hand is known to everyone as a star of t.
