One of the consequences of the ill-considered actions of the Volyn executive authorities regarding the regulation of the grain market was the formation of a new deputy association in the regional council. A statement on joint actions was signed yesterday by the head of the "Our Ukraine" faction, Volodymyr Karpuk, and the head of the Peasant Faction, Valeriy Panasyuk. The statement says that members of both factions have decided "to agree upon and coordinate their actions in the consideration and adoption of all socially significant decisions and regulatory documents of the Volyn Regional Council for the region." In addition, the deputies committed themselves "to carry out preliminary consideration of all issues submitted to the session meetings of the council and meetings of deputy commissions at a joint meeting of deputies of both factions."
Such an association became possible thanks to the unequivocal position of the deputies of the regional council and the people's deputy, coordinator of the "Our Ukraine" Bloc in the Volyn region, Volodymyr Bondar, regarding the inadmissibility of crude administrative methods in regulating the food market.
The first joint initiative of the deputies of both factions will be the convening of an extraordinary session of the Volyn Regional Council for the purpose of discussing the situation that has developed in the agriculture of the region.
The number of the deputy corps of both factions currently totals about 30 deputies, which constitutes more than one third of the total composition of the council.
