Yesterday in Lutsk, a presentation of the newly formed all-Ukrainian public organization "National Alliance" took place for representatives of local mass media. The press conference was attended by the now former head of the Volyn Oblast Organization "MNK", deputy of the Lutsk City Council Ihor Huz, who introduced himself to journalists as the head of the new public structure – chairman of the all-Ukrainian public organization "National Alliance", and the head of the Volyn Oblast branch of the respective NGO Ihor Kulyk. According to information provided by the leadership of the Volyn Oblast Organization "National Alliance", on January 29 of this year, the founding meeting of the presented public organization was held in Kyiv, in which representatives of 15 regions of Ukraine took part.
According to Mr. Huz, the activities of the new NGO will be concentrated in such areas as involving youth in active public and political activity, establishing cooperation with youth and public organizations and political parties of right-wing orientation in Europe and the world, political and informational activity (creating its own nationalist online publication), educating youth in the spirit of patriotism, Christian morality, popularizing Ukrainian culture, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
As the chairman of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization "National Alliance" noted, representatives of the newly formed public structure are not going to be created by some political party, but want to start a movement, as it was in the Republic of Poland, where over a certain period of time the patriotic public of the country realized the need for a powerful political party of right-wing orientation. At the moment, according to Ihor Huz, on the territory of our state there are no analogous parties of right-wing orientation specifically of the European model.

The Ukrainian youth movement has been joined by another organization The idea of creating a new all-Ukrainian youth public organization called the National Alliance was unanimously supported by delegates of the Founding Meeting held recently in the city of Kyiv. 95 representatives from 15 oblasts of Ukraine took part in the Meeting. The newly created organization united in its ranks the youth born by the "orange" revolution. According to one of the initiators of the creation of the National Alliance, Yurii Mindyuk, the elections of the President of Ukraine accomplished what all youth organizations had been working on for more than 10 years – they awakened civic consciousness in young people and forced them to take an active part in the life of the state. Now it is extremely important to properly direct this energy and find an application for it. The National Alliance aims to promote the development of Ukrainian statehood by spreading the national idea. Guided by the goal and tasks of the Alliance, the participants of the Founding Meeting discussed the main directions of the organization's activity, in particular those that will distinguish it from among hundreds of others.
First of all, this is international activity: establishing cooperation with public and political organizations of the right spectrum of other countries, exchange of experience, practical and theoretical assistance, holding joint events. Special attention deserves support in self-organization for young people of Ukrainian origin who are citizens of other states, primarily neighboring ones – Poland, Belarus, Russia.
Secondly, this is carrying out active work in the information space. Several internet projects are already being developed: on the creation and support of a portal that would unite a significant national resource, on the creation of a number of websites, possibly not very well-known, but Ukrainian in essence bands and performers, on the distribution of Ukrainian software.
The National Alliance also retains more traditional work: conducting educational seminars, trainings, carrying out awareness-raising work, organizing contests, competitions, quizzes; any other actions aimed at involving youth in active public work, education in the spirit of patriotism and Christian morality, and the spread of Ukrainian culture.
The deputy of the Lutsk City Council, Ihor Huz, was elected chairman of the All-Ukrainian Youth Public Organization "National Alliance".
