People's Deputy of Ukraine Yevhen KyryLchuk (B&YuT faction) agreed to comment on O.Moroz's statement about the possibility of running for the post of President in the 2004 elections. \nOn this matter, Yevhen Ivanovych said the following: If Yushchenko does not determine his positions regarding the possibility of going to the elections together, together forming a change of power and together reviving everything that has been ruined during Kuchma's rule, and does not offer his clear, transparent political position, in that case not only Moroz but perhaps also Tymoshenko may run for president. Because today Yushchenko has the highest rating, various proposals have been addressed to him by us, the Yulia Tymoshenko faction, and Moroz, and if by this time the "Our Ukraine" bloc has not determined itself, then because of this such departures from the central course are possible. And I can more easily understand Moroz's voting on February 3, which does not mean anything yet, and his statement on Channel 5, as a warning to Yushchenko, because Moroz also knows, probably, just as Yushchenko does, that neither Moroz himself nor Yushchenko himself has a chance of winning. And the one who exerts the most effort for the "troika" to take place is precisely Yulia Tymoshenko and her team. We have analyzed all options and only the troika has a chance; if this does not happen, then power will remain in this regime as it is, that is, the regime of clans, oligarchs, which even Kuchma can no longer handle. \nTo the correspondent's question of "Lutsk Investment" "Can Moroz's position be considered a split in the opposition?" Yevhen KyryLchuk replied that the general line of the entire troika remains firm, about which Moroz stated on Channel 5 that until the Law "On Elections" on a proportional basis is adopted, until clearer changes are made to the Law "On Presidential Elections," until the Law "On the Central Election Commission" and a whole series of other laws that are already practically a component of the political reform are put in order, and these laws are not signed by the president, no one will vote for the final version of changes to the Constitution, including this statement was supported by the communists themselves. Yes, according to Yevhen Ivanovych, the communists also understand that if there is no Law "On Elections on a Proportional Basis," then the communists have no chance of getting into parliament in 2006, but as it is they still have one. \n"For example, I am alarmed by such a quick agreement of the majority that the President should already be elected by the entire people of Ukraine, and not by parliament. I think that the current regime has also calculated two moments in such a development of events. Suppose Yushchenko wins, but all real power has passed to the prime minister. And the prime minister is elected by that majority which is in parliament. That means everything down to the judges is approved by the government and parliament, that is, the opposition president will not be admitted to real power. And the second option: a representative of the current regime wins — the courts are theirs, he files in the very first court an application about the illegitimacy of the changes to the Constitution, the court supports it, cancels all changes and their president returns to the old Constitution, to the old powers. There you have two options to which the media paid very little attention. \nDo not think that the one who holds power today will give it up so easily, because when power changes, the time of responsibility comes for the crimes inflicted on Ukraine, which is what they fear most — that time when this responsibility will come," states Yevhen KyryLchuk. \nCommenting on Moroz's statement about supporting Symonenko, in the event of Yushchenko and Symonenko reaching the second round of the presidential elections, and vice versa — in the event of Yushchenko and Moroz reaching the second round — Symonenko will support Moroz, Yevhen KyryLchuk stated the following: "This must be considered from several angles: what each of them wanted, and what he had in mind. Firstly, Moroz's statement must be regarded as a warning to Yushchenko; secondly, Moroz never had the right to 'sign off' on behalf of the entire electorate. He could only speak about his personal position. Because I, for example, will say on behalf of Volyn socialists that they condemn Moroz's statement on this matter. On this matter, a decision needs to be adopted by the Congress. And I do not think that the Congress, even of socialists, would adopt such a decision. Therefore, Moroz's statement cannot be taken seriously. \nOne also cannot seriously believe Symonenko's statement, because when in the previous elections he was second and Moroz third, when about two dozen people's deputies from the right wing approached him: 'Mr. Symonenko, withdraw your candidacy,' and 'everything that is against Kuchma and against the oligarchs will unite around Moroz,' Symonenko did not yield to Moroz and stated that his party does not allow him to. So neither from one side nor the other can this statement be taken seriously. \nAnd the main goal of the authorities today is to somehow 'whitewash' Symonenko's concession, and if Moroz is closer to him there, they declare that this is already a terrible split in the opposition. No split has occurred and I am confident that within the next 10 days a coalition agreement will be signed between the three political forces." \n \n \nRead also: \n \nMoroz's position is inconsistent, — head of the "Our Ukraine" Bloc in the Volyn region
