On April 6, a press conference was held by the deputy co-coordinators of the "Our Ukraine" faction in the Lutsk City Council, Ihor Huz, Serhii Havryliuk, and Viktor Shostak. The main topics of the press conference were changes in the faction's composition and discussion of the faction's further activity plans. As the faction's co-coordinators reported, the faction's numerical composition underwent significant changes – three members of the Ukrainian People's Party and two deputies who decided to create a new group in the city council called "European Lutsk" left the faction. The reason for the departure of the UNP members is a provision in the statute of the Ukrainian People's Party according to which they can no longer be part of any factions other than their own – the politicians believe. Regarding the newly formed group "European Lutsk," Ihor Huz noted that there are no significant ideological differences with the "Our Ukraine" faction, and on the contrary, fruitful cooperation for the benefit of the city community is envisaged. Also, the press conference participants categorically denied rumors about renaming the "Our Ukraine" faction. According to its leaders, six previously non-affiliated deputies also joined the faction. Commenting on their arrival, Ihor Huz called for understanding toward those deputies who during the times of the old authorities could not openly support "Our Ukraine" and only now can afford to declare their position. In the near future, the faction is expected to be joined by several more deputies with whom active negotiations are underway, which, in the faction leaders' opinion, will constitute a real opposition to Lutsk City Head Anton Kryvytskyi. The coordinators of the Lutsk city faction "Our Ukraine" also spoke about their further work. Priority at the moment in the faction's work are two directions – reforming the housing and communal services sector and transparency in the use of budget funds. The faction's deputies believe that it is finally necessary to create healthy competition in the housing and communal services market, which will improve the quality of services for the population. The press conference participants called on all residents of Lutsk to cooperate and promised to actively defend the rights of their constituents.
