Deputy head of the Volyn regional organization of the political party "Trudova Ukraina" Mykola Ivanyuk has expressed his position on the situation in Ukraine's political life. Thus, in his opinion, the position of Oleksandr Moroz and the voting of the socialist faction is the most balanced and rational on the part of the opposition camp. Therefore, the statement about the possibility of running for office is confirmation that Moroz, with skillful political moves, is outpacing other "opponents" of the regime, and his statements about putting forward his candidacy in the 2004 elections are a logical continuation of the socialists' voting in the Verkhovna Rada on February 3. "Only with a change in the political system, a transition to a parliamentary-presidential republic, can Moroz really influence the authorities. Therefore, he will never support Yushchenko, who will not go beyond rhetoric about a 'change in the system of power.' While some politicians are engaged in clowning, the socialists today are participating in reforming the system of power so that tomorrow they will be in the highest echelon of Ukrainian politics," states Mykola Ivanyuk. According to Mykola Ivanyuk, Moroz's statement about the possibility of supporting Symonenko in the second round of elections confirmed that the opposition forces in Ukraine are divided into two categories: right and left. Accordingly, the socialists will choose based on ideological motives. Speaking about the upcoming elections, according to the deputy head of the Volyn regional organization of the political party "Trudova Ukraina," a whole range of candidates, both from the opposition and from the majority, will fight for the sympathy of voters. "Although the parliamentary majority has announced its intentions to nominate a single candidate, everything will depend on the implementation of the political reform. Analyzing the latest events in the Verkhovna Rada, one can predict that they will succeed," believes Mykola Ivanyuk. "The experience of presidential races in independent Ukraine shows that politicians, while announcing certain agreements on uniting efforts in the election campaign, later changed their own promises. It is not excluded that a whole range of politicians will come to the start of 'Elections-2004' who previously announced their intentions to support the stronger (more 'electable') candidate," says Mykola Ivanyuk.
