The activity of the current Ukrainian Government, apart from the natural criticism from the opposition, causes a negative assessment from pro-government political leaders in the regions. A striking example of a unified critical position regarding Yanukovych's government was today's joint press conference of the Lutsk city mayor, leader of the Volyn united social democrats Anton Kryvytskyi and a member of the Our Ukraine faction, head of the Yushchenko Bloc representation in the region Volodymyr Bondar. Authorized representatives of the territorial community of Lutsk shared with the local press their vision of the problem of allocating state budget funds for capital construction and prevention of emergency situations and man-made disasters in the housing and communal services for Lutsk for 2004. In particular, the city mayor noted that all procedural issues in preparing the corresponding program were observed, but not a single facility was financed or planned for financing. "I don't want to get into politics, but, obviously, it is present here," says Anton Kryvytskyi, "that is what the state exists for, that is what the budget exists for, which should be a conductor of equalizing the regions. We cannot allow in the state that one of its parts is like African, and the other like a 'Silicon Valley' in America. Let's now not give Lutsk pensioners their pensions because they elected Bondar as a deputy, or not give budget workers their salaries because we have Bondar from the opposition. This is probably the wrong approach." "Yanukovych's government is not for the first time failing to comply with laws," continued people's deputy Bondar, "obviously the Prime Minister's criminal past is reflected in his attitude to legislation, just as he did not respect laws in his youth, he treats them with the same lack of respect today." The current government practice of allocating funds for capital construction, in Volodymyr Bondar's opinion, lies outside the legal field. "The Constitution of Ukraine clearly states — people cannot be divided by religious, gender, racial, or any other characteristic. In this case, people were divided by political characteristic: into those who are closer and those who are far from the ruling clan." The people's deputy is not going to agree with such a situation; he will submit corresponding inquiries to the Prosecutor General's Office and turn for clarifications to the Constitutional Court. Anton Kryvytskyi also supports the idea of such submissions.
