Today, the secretary of the Volyn regional organization of the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united), mayor of Lutsk Anton Kryvytskyi expressed his full support for the residents of Lutsk and condemned the actions of the SDPU(o) faction in the Verkhovna Rada. This is stated in Anton Kryvytskyi's address to the people of Lutsk. "The decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine regarding the resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers headed by V.F. Yanukovych is of fateful significance for the state. As is known, the SDPU(o) faction did not vote for this decision. In this regard, I consider it my duty to clearly outline my position, first of all, as a citizen, as a city mayor, as the secretary of the Volyn regional organization of the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united). Such a position of the faction does not correspond to the ideas and principles of European social democracy. History asserts: every government is more foolish than the people, but it should not be so foolish as not to hear them. Unfortunately, almost half of the parliamentarians did not hear the voices of millions. I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of rank-and-file party members share the same opinion," the address states. "In Lutsk, Viktor Yanukovych received over 12 percent. The position of the people of Lutsk is unambiguous: it is clearly formulated by their votes in the elections, it is consistently defended in protest actions against the falsification of results. I am with the people of Lutsk. Their choice has always been, is, and will be decisive for me. As before, the city authorities will always be open to the community, and this is the guarantee of stability," the text of the statement reads.
