In countries with developed democracies the government or political leadership coming leaders are not trying to articulate and realize the interests of their voters but rather manipulate them by playing on emotions. In countries with underdeveloped democracy to this is also political corruption, which manifests itself in particular in "buying" votes kleptocratic class - oligarchs and corrupt. We also have a new political reality, which uses sophisticated social manipulation and used means of hybrid warfare.

However, in countries that are in a stage of transformation, such as Ukraine, there is a public demand for new models bezkoruptsiyni effective public administration.

If we define the Republican ideology, as an ideology informed spivupravlinnya citizens, the ideology of free or active self-sufficient proactive individuals, there is a need to consolidate such individuals not only internally national level, but also on international search for common solutions to problems of responses to new challenges and at the same time for the popularization of ideas republicanism.

The revolution of dignity should lead to the Revolution of consciousness. A presentation and discussion of the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Stimulation of Citizens' Tax Responsibility" took place. The regular meeting of the International Republican Club was held on September 22 in the conference hall of the Salut Hotel. The theme of the meeting was the presentation and discussion of the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and certain legislative acts of Ukraine on stimulation of tax liability of citizens", which introduces an independent payment of personal income tax and a single social contribution on the basis of the experience of the USA and the leading western countries. The bill was drafted by a group of experts under the auspices of the International Republican Club and the Ukrainian NGO "Ukrainian Strategy" The meeting of the Club was attended by members of the board of the International Republican Club, people's deputies of Ukraine, representatives of the Association of Taxpayers, the Agency "Joint Fulfillment", other public and business associations. Independent payment of taxes by citizens is one of the fundamental Republican ideas, which significantly affects the attitude of a citizen towards his country. When people pay taxes themselves, they are more responsible for the issues of their subsequent use. Introducing the idea of ​​creating a member of the Club's Board, the People's Deputy of Ukraine Viktor Romaniuk noted that the independent payment of taxes is a pan-European and American experience, and the bill itself is aimed primarily at changing the consciousness of society, increasing the responsibility and power that society and society themselves hire. " President of the Club, and at the same time the head of the group of developers, Anatolii Pinchuk spoke about the main positions of the project. Namely: - An independent payment is made by a citizen of the personal income tax and the CIT. In order to avoid problems with administration during the implementation of this norm, it is allowed to order the citizen to administer these payments to the employer, but only voluntarily. - Introducing the possibility of switching to taxation of family income with the introduction of additional preferences for children. - An integrated PIT rate of 10 + 2% is established, where 10% is an obligatory component and paid to the local community budget at the place of residence (which will increase the capacity of territorial communities in the conditions of decentralization), and 2% - voluntary, from which you can refuse to pay , subject to submission of an application for voluntary exclusion from the Voter Register at the national level. - The total fiscal burden of the PIT + ECU is reduced to 27%, which in turn corresponds to the data of international studies, which show that for the shadowing it is necessary that the ratio of the total rate taxes on deviation from payment did not exceed 3 to 1. - Incentives for personal pension savings are created by reducing the tax base to the corresponding contributions. The chairman of the Osnova Party, Andrii Nikolaienko, said that the project is quite revolutionary and that he personally does not have high expectations for the approval of his current composition of the Verkhovna Rada. But the positions of the bill should be promoted in society and become fundamental to the overall re-launch of the country on the basis of a new social contract, he said. Representatives of the Association of Taxpayers headed by the Chairman of the Association Grigol Katamadze supported the main points of the bill and at the same time provided their expert suggestions for its improvement, especially in terms of administration. Mr. Katamadze also suggested uniting efforts to prepare a comprehensive tax reform and the new Tax Code. These proposals were also supported by the meeting participants. Also during the meeting were the proposals on the need to combine tax and social-pension reform and radically change the pension system instead of the simulation changes that are now proposed by the Government. In particular, People's Deputy Alexander Kirsch joined the government's criticism, emphasizing the government's secrecy in preparing for reforms that are important to society and the lack of an integrated approach to reforms. Summing up the meeting Anatolii Pinchuk offered to all who support the Republican ideas to join the revision of the bill and its further public lobbying.

Participants of the meeting of the International Republican Club discussed the future of the cooperative movement in Ukraine

Press release   Participants of the meeting of the International Republican Club discussed the future of the cooperative movement in Ukraine On July 19, the International Republican Club held its second meeting in Kyiv. The theme of the meeting was "Cooperation - Active Citizenship and Responsible Society". The subject of the discussion was the experience of the countries of the cooperative movement and the prospects of cooperative movements in Ukraine. Moderated by meeting President of the Club Anatolii Pinchuk. Presenters were Victor Romaniuk, Deputy of Verhovna Rada of Ukraine, Member of the Board of the International Republican Club and Zinoviy Svereda, Doctor of Social Economics, Associate Professor of the Romanian Hryhorian University, President of the Ukrainian Cooperative Alliance. The discussion was attended by Andrii Nikolaienko, the chairman of the party  «Osnova », Alexander Kirsh, Deputy of Verhovna Rada of Ukraine and other participants. Victor Romaniuk, emphasized that the model of cooperation should change the philosophy of Ukrainians, to turn them back to the understanding that their life is only in their hands. "The elites exploit the Soviet model of governance: the division of power and resources, rather than horizontal governance. We need to base the legislation on incentives when people want to work, earn money and be wealthy and self-sufficient," he explained. Mr. Romaniuk noted that today's system of government is aimed at raising the class of people dependent on the state, which then influence the formation of the political elite of the state. "It is necessary to create a class of citizens that does not depend on the state, who would like to work, to show their own initiative, which would be independently responsible for their lives. And it was necessary to be united with the same citizens, took responsibility for the life of the community. This is part of the republican ideology ", - he explained. Zinoviy ​​Svereda presented the foundations of the cooperative movement in Europe. He stressed that cooperation allows and helps to show greater activity of local authorities and to educate citizens on self-organization, responsibility and self-discipline, and this is important in the processes of decentralization. "The role of local authorities is very important in light of the fact that the government proclaimed the process of decentralization, and co-operation is a kind of economic and social decentralization. Not just a political or territorial one. After all, every small two to three towns have territorial communities, but a completely different question is how they will realize daily economic and social life. In fact, there are legislation on cooperatives in Ukraine, in addition, there is legislation on associations, on non-profit organizations. Of course, it needs to be reformed and adapted to European legislation, which is quite simplistic and we are going ahead. We spoke with our cooperation partners from other areas. We will prepare a new bill in order to maximally simplify and give maximum freedom to local communities "- he said. Andrii Nikolayienko noted that the future of a developed state should be co-operative. "According to statistics, around 1 billion people are involved in the cooperation in the whole world. Cooperative movement is actively working in more than 100 Developed countries and provides 100 million jobs. Ukraine has to create a strong cooperative movement, the foundation has already been laid, "he said. According to Mr. Nikolaienko, Ukrainians need their own vision of the development of the state, not generated by the authorities. "I do not believe in the strategy written by the authorities, she writes for them. I believe in strategy written by business, citizens, university community. Such an example is the human-centered strategy - Doctrine of balanced development "Ukraine-2030". Society should be built on the principle of the triangle "Society-State-Business", where each element of the system is important and interconnected. Co-operative movement is about it ", - said the politician. Alexander Kirsh stressed that the creation of a strong cooperative movement is an important task for citizens. "Together, we will actually build those initiatives, we will rebuild the dialogue between people in individual communities through The philosophy of co-operation, which was also born on the basis of religious parishes, "he said. But the fact that we sometimes have to use co-operation instead of performing certain functions of the state shows the destruction of the institutional capacity of the Ukrainian state. He was supported by the chairman, who noted that "it is the very transformation of Ukraine into a real Republic created by active and responsible citizens to overcome the crisis." The participants of the discussion agreed that the cooperative movement is one of the powerful tools for the development of co-administration of citizens, which in turn meets the principles of the republican ideology.

Years of experience with the creation of a unified political front

The scandal surrounding the intervention of special services of Russia in the elections in the US acquires momentum. It is the first time in history we are talking about the manipulation of the American political system. This is manipulation from the authoritarian regime of Putin. Look at Europe – France and now Germany and other countries are being drowned by torrents of refugees.

But they are not drowning from the refugees themselves but from these “torrents”. From the fact that the refugees who have not been brought up in the spirit of Christian ethical principles, these refugees are ignoring European standards and rules and are becoming a threat to the Europeans. The Europeans themselves are also “reacting” by supporting so called nationalist-populist politicians who as it turns out a financially supported by the Kremlin and by Russian media propaganda which is also financed by the Kremlin.
