Today a meeting took place between presidential candidate and Communist Party representative Petro Symonenko and Volyn journalists. The communist leader began his speech with greetings on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Volyn from fascist invaders. After that, Petro Symonenko familiarized the journalists with the positions of his program, in which he highlighted the following: "creation of a new economic strategy" and "establishing humanitarian order"; \nIt is worth emphasizing that the content of the main communist's program is the slogan "With the people and for the people!" "Proceeding from these fundamental things," stated Petro Mykolayovych, "I proposed that, first of all, we must clearly determine what parameters we are offering here for improving the living conditions of our people and uniting society, developing our economic base, our independence." In the speech, significant emphasis was placed on an inventory order regarding property that was illegally appropriated, that is, "whoever owns is the rich one." One cannot overlook what Mr. Symonenko said about our customs: "Order at customs is the face of the state, but this face is as in a crooked mirror. A swindler at customs is a swindler in the President's chair." The leader of the Communist Party in his speech accused his opponents of copying the principles of Petro Symonenko's election program. \nThe answer to the journalists' question "Whom will you support in the second round of the presidential elections if such candidates as Yushchenko and Yanukovych make it through?" was as follows: "They do not interest me at all, since Yushchenko and Yanukovych are one and the same. They represent flows of oligarchic capital. One represents the Donetsk clan, the other - other oligarchic clans, relying on American support - this is a continuation of the political and economic course that existed under Kuchma. It will be a great evil for Ukraine if they win." \nThere was also an interesting question regarding "Whom do you consider a spoiler in the elections?" In this case, the presidential candidate noted that it was precisely Vitrenko and Moroz who put forward their candidacies in order to take votes away from him, because they have no chances whatsoever. Petro Symonenko noted that before nominating his candidacy for the post of President, he met with Moroz in order to unite forces, but the latter refused. \nThe conclusion of the left-wing representative's speech was accompanied by a wish that the elections be democratic and that no one hinder the people of Ukraine in expressing their will. \n\t \n
“Power is treacherous and cunning – all hope is in Petro” – it was precisely this phrase that Adam Martyniuk used on June 4 at the Communist Party of Ukraine congress, where Petro Mykolayovych Symonenko was nominated as a candidate for President.
