“All political forces that have a national component and that profess the national idea must go together in the upcoming parliamentary elections,” urged People's Deputy, head of the Volyn regional organization of the Ukrainian People's Party Borys Zahreva during a speech in Novyi Zahoriv of the Lokachi district, where events were being held to mark the 62nd anniversary of the memory of UPA soldiers who died on September 9-11, 1943 in an unequal battle with fascist occupiers. “On Saturday, at a meeting of the Central Leadership, in order to unite our efforts for the sake of preserving Ukraine, we adopted an appeal to all patriotic right-wing forces, because it was the right that stood from beginning to end, fighting for an independent Ukraine, and fighting for a Ukrainian people's President,” emphasized the People's Deputy.
In addition, Borys Zahreva is convinced that “in the leadership of the state, in the bodies of all authorities, national communities living on the territory of Ukraine must be represented proportionally in accordance with their numbers, and these must be truly Ukrainian patriotic forces. We together with you must do everything so that a Ukrainian rules in his own state, in every region, in every district.”
He, as a member of the UNP faction in the Verkhovna Rada, confirmed the political force's decision to support the Ukrainian people's President in his actions. “Viktor Yushchenko is the President whom we together with you fought for, whom we supported and continue to support, so that he can realize the Ukrainian idea and further implement the European path of development of our state.”
