After the conclusion of the final meeting on the activities of local self-government bodies in 2003, which took place at the Volyn Regional Music and Drama Theater named after Taras Shevchenko, about 200 demonstrators met Volodymyr Lytvyn at the exit.\nThey turned out to be workers of the Lutsk Automobile Plant, who were protesting against tax inspections at the enterprise, which they regard as tax pressure. In particular, the protesters held banners with the following content: "Stopping LuAZ means losing a third of the city's budget", "LuAZ is a law-abiding taxpayer", "Tax officials! Stop before it's too late!", "Gentlemen tax officials — where were you in 1996-1999?", "Tax officials!!! Come to your senses!!! This is not 1937", "Adoption of Law No. 3677 will leave us without wages", "Mr. Lytvyn! Protect our jobs!", "We demand the restoration of the investment program of OJSC LuAZ", "Every automobile plant worker supports 2 pensioners and 4 public sector employees", and others.\nVolodymyr Lytvyn came out to the demonstrators and listened to their demands. In turn, he stated his support for LuAZ: "I want the plant to work," he said.\nIt is worth noting that yesterday he nevertheless voted "for" the draft Law of Ukraine "On the Development of the Automotive Industry of Ukraine" with the proposals of the President of Ukraine dated 02.03.2004 (No. 3677) — in the new edition. This document provides benefits only for enterprises that have an approved investment program, that is, ZAZ and LAZ.\n
