Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi has been on vacation since March 1, as the latter emphasizes, "the intention to go on vacation is in no way connected with the intention to begin active pre-election campaigning." The incumbent mayor assures that the start of the election race has already demonstrated that there will be much not only traditional populism, but also black PR and planned provocations. "I have never resorted to such methods of attracting the electorate. I will not participate in this now either," Kryvytskyi stated, adding an awareness that "there are Lutsk residents who do not accept" him, while noting that "a protest electorate exists under any circumstances, and no campaigning will help here." From Mr. Kryvytskyi's address, the candidate's vision for the further development strategy of Lutsk for the next 5 years became clear – "safety of life, work, physical and spiritual health, ecological, financial, legal security. Comfort in daily life, communal, social, material and psychological." For the incumbent mayor, his own political party is the "territorial community," and Kryvytskyi himself is convinced of the effectiveness and winning nature of such a policy, "because the price of a mistake in choosing authorities is higher the closer this authority is to everyday life." In his own address, Anton Kryvytskyi proposes his own recipe for avoiding grievances, revenge, pressure or offense in April (that is, after March 26 – author) – "all heads of structural subdivisions should write resignation letters of their own free will in March..., March 27." The first critical statements regarding the above-mentioned theses of Anton Fedorovych came from the candidate for the position of Lutsk mayor, the nominee of the city inter-party conference of BYuT, Volodymyr Lytvyniuk. As reported by the Western Information Corporation, Mr. Lytvyniuk expressed his own judgments regarding Kryvytskyi's point of view on the prospects of post-March work of the heads of city executive committee subdivisions – "I am surprised by such a statement. The mayor's office is shocked and practically paralyzed, people are confused... To become a specialist, one must work for more than one year and gain experience. There are many honest and law-abiding specialists working in the executive committee who perform their work professionally," Lytvyniuk asserts.
