The PORA-PRP civic bloc is going to request Leonid Kuchma, Serhy Kivalov and Viktor Yanukovych to authorize use of their photographs on PORA-PRP leaflets “It’s Time to Bring Them to Account: why are they still at large?”, the bloc’s political board member Yevhen Zolotaryov said, speaking at a press conference.
Earlier, such leaflets were used by the PORA civic organization. Now PORA-PRP is going to use them as political advertising. As several lawsuits have already been filed against PORA-PRP candidates running for Verkhovna Rada “for unauthorized use” of photographs of these fraud-marred politicians, it was decided to officially approach Kuchma, Yanukovych and Kivalov to get their go-ahead for the use of their photos.
“We are going to send a telegram to Leonid Kuchma Fund’s address at 1/15 Pylyp Orlyk St. in Kyiv with the following wording: “Dear Mr. Kuchma, we request your permission to use your photo on our leaflet “It’s Time to Bring Them to Account: why are they still at large?” We’ll send similar telegrams to Kivalov and Yanukovych,” Yevhen Zolotaryov says. “We’ll wait for three days for their answers. If we get no answers, we’ll interpret their silence as permission to use their photos on our leaflets and boards,” he added.
