On May 14, the head of the press service of the Lutsk city mayor, Volodymyr Bielskyi, held his last press conference in the position he held and made public the reasons for his resignation. This is not only "disagreement with the information policy of the city executive committee." Many of the issues raised could cause a scandal, – reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
In particular, Volodymyr Bielskyi claims that "the closest circle of the Lutsk city mayor Anton Fedorovych Kryvytskyi is playing against him personally. Land issues are effectively being boycotted, there is no database of land plots being put up for sale, there is no database of communal property that can be sold or leased. The absence of such information is a very grateful field for abuse and, let's say, for bribery. I am aware of and responsible for my words."
No less scandalous were the disclosures regarding the mayor's "hotline": on road repairs, on the privatization of dormitories, architectural developments, and so on. All the information work of the deputy mayors, in his opinion, boils down to "certain populist get-togethers."
Volodymyr Bielskyi knows that he "today has a not very attractive reputation – 'the first rat fleeing the sinking ship.' In the configuration in which Kryvytskyi's 'team' exists, it is doomed to defeat in the 2006 elections. It does not matter whether it is the election of the mayor or of city council deputies."
Volodymyr Bielskyi is ready to go to court if his statement is not signed.
