Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi will no longer allow city facilities to be used for exemplary showcase demonstrations before government officials. He stated this during an operational meeting of the city executive committee. The mayor presented a twofold argument. Argument one – the regional authorities provide no assistance in creating amenities in the regional center, so there is nothing for them to boast about here. Anton Kryvytskyi became convinced that other regions approach these matters differently while attending a seminar on urban improvement in Ivano-Frankivsk. The region significantly helps in the infrastructure development of this city. Secondly, the practice of demonstrating the best (a school, a hospital, a library, etc.) during visits by high-ranking officials creates a false impression among them about the true state of affairs. Therefore, from now on, Lutsk has a taboo on showmanship. However, Anton Kryvytskyi believes that every sector should have facilities that meet European standards. As a model for others to follow.
