People's deputies from the "Our Ukraine" bloc and journalists were not allowed into the Mukachevo territorial election commission after the announcement of the election results, with physical force being used. \n \nAs People's Deputy Petro Oliynyk (the "Our Ukraine" bloc) told the "Interfax-Ukraine" agency, after the Mukachevo territorial election commission announced the results of the Mukachevo mayoral election at 3:30 a.m., a number of people's deputies together with journalists tried to enter the premises of the territorial election commission to obtain a copy of the protocol. \n \n"Everyone knew that Baloha had won, and suddenly the commission announces that Nuser had won. We, as people's deputies together with journalists, went to the Mukachevo city executive committee, however the city executive committee building was surrounded by a cordon of special police unit officers," Oliynyk reported. \n \nAccording to him, only four people's deputies managed to break through the cordon - Roman Bezsmertny, Taras Stetskiv, Yuriy Pavlenko and Oliynyk himself. \n \nHowever, they too failed to get into the premises of the territorial election commission, which is located on the second floor of the city executive committee. \n \n"Berkut officers twisted our arms, knocked us to the floor and kicked us, after which they simply trivially took us by the arms and legs and threw us down from the second floor," the people's deputy stated. \n \nAccording to the "Our Ukraine" bloc, their representative Viktor Baloha won the election with a margin of 5.5 thousand votes over Ernest Nuser; the Mukachevo territorial election commission announced Nuser's victory with a margin of 5 thousand votes over Baloha. \n \nAt the same time, the commission did not post the protocols on the election results for review, as required by law. \n \n
