Today, judge of the Lutsk City and District Court Lolita Ivasyuta announced a decision refusing to satisfy the complaint of the Lutsk city executive committee regarding the restriction of the action "Yes to well-being! No to dictatorship!", in particular the placement of a tent on the square opposite the Volyn Regional State Administration. The court does not see any violations of Article 39 of the Constitution of Ukraine in the holding of the action, which regulates the exceptional grounds for restricting street actions. \nThe background to this decision was as follows. Last week, the Volyn organization of the Party "Reforms and Order" began picketing the regional state administration as part of the protest marathon of the Bloc "Our Ukraine" — "Yes to well-being! No to dictatorship!". This action, in accordance with the law, was announced in advance to Lutsk mayor Anton Kryvytskyi. Therefore, the organizers had no doubts about the legitimacy of the action, at least from a legal point of view. The form of the picket was also not original: a tent with the symbols "So! Yushchenko", a stand with demands, mainly of a social nature, to the authorities of all levels, several young people in jackets with the attributes of "Our Ukraine". \n However, the organizers did not anticipate a single thing — the pathological, inadequate reaction on the part of the leading officials of the regional administration. The young picketers had the opportunity to talk with the deputy head of the RSA Volodymyr Panchyshyn, the head of the regional department of the MIA — Kmita, and most interestingly — with the Volyn governor Anatoliy Frantsuz. A Hero of Ukraine and author of educational literature on Christian themes set a worthy example of highly intellectual communication, calling graduates of Volyn universities "snot-noses" and threatening to report them "to the school". \n Then — more. Representatives of MIA bodies responsible for protecting public order in Volyn informed the action coordinator Oleksandr Martyniuk that evening that the next day they would not allow the tent to be set up, because they had a "directive" from the city mayor that obligated them to do so. The document under that name, addressed to the head of the Lutsk city department of the UMIA, was indeed signed by Anton Kryvytskyi, as became known later — not at all of his own will. The argumentation of the "directive" looked anecdotal — the tent is a small architectural form, therefore its installation requires additional permission. \n In order not to provoke the police officers and other guardians of the current authorities into a Mukachevo-style scenario, the Volyn organization of the RPR actually stopped the action the next day, about which it informed the Lutsk mayor in the morning. The fact that an identical action, with a new notification to the city authorities, was started a few hours later by the city branch of the NGO "Our Ukraine" was already outside the scope of the mayor's "directive". That is, both the tent and the picket were flying on the square in front of the administration, contrary to the instructions of the formidable Frantsuz. \n A little later, the action coordinator received an invitation to the city and district court, where, as it turned out, a statement by the same Anton Kryvytskyi had been registered the day before with a request to the court to "restrict the placement of an agitation post with the installation of a tent on Kyiv Square by the Volyn regional organization of the Party 'Reforms and Order' by moving it to Theater Square..." — further away from the administration and the governor's eyes. The argumentation regarding the "small architectural structure" was supplemented by five collective statements from RSA officials about the "negative impact" of the picket on their "work environment", as well as letters from the head of the UMIA in the region and the head of the city department of the UMIA. \n The lawyer of the city executive committee with the symbolic surname Kuchma could not explain to the judge for a long time what the problem was, if the action mentioned in the statement of the VOO RPR had been stopped. However, the namesake of the guarantor of the Constitution did not withdraw the statement — "...the mayor will come, then we'll see." As the court decision shows, the mayor's arrival did not affect the argumentation regarding the restriction of the action. Therefore, officials of the Volyn RSA and the Lutsk city executive committee will have to master legislation more thoroughly. \n Of course, the Volyn authorities, even after the court decision, will not passively observe the action of "Our Ukraine", attempts to dismantle the hated tent will continue, but in this context a reasonable question arises: do the head of the regional administration, the mayor of the regional center, the staffs of five RSA departments, the heads of police at the regional and city levels, a good two dozen other law enforcement officers and another dozen officials really have nothing else to do? \nIt turns out all the problems of the region — are solved. Only one remains — the opposition "Our Ukraine", which does nothing but distract law-abiding citizens from enjoying the unheard-of level of well-being, security and comfort... \n
