Deputy head of the regional branch of the Party of Regions Dmytro Polishchuk appealed to the Territorial Election Commission of electoral district No. 22 with a request to recognize the actions of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Volyn" as not complying with the requirements of Art. 3-4 of the Law "On Elections of the President of Ukraine," to file a motion for the temporary suspension of the publication of the newspaper "Volyn," and to hold the editor legally liable as an official who calls on the population to unauthorized and unlawful acts aimed at committing violent actions against the existing government. The complainant believes that in the material published in the newspaper "Volyn" under the headline "One Must Live by One's Own Mind," the editor (author) "in a veiled form agitated readers against presidential candidate V.F. Yanukovych, as evidenced by the content of this publication and certain expressions, conclusions, etc. used by its author, which in an extremely negative form assess the activity of the existing government, one of whose branches is headed by the aforementioned presidential candidate of Ukraine." During the meeting of the TEC, the representative of the newspaper's interests, attorney Serhiy Safulko, challenged the complaint's compliance with the requirements of the election Law. In particular, he noted that according to the charter of the Party of Regions, "regional branches do not have the right to speak on behalf of the party on issues of public and political significance unless they have been directly authorized to do so by the central bodies of the party." Dmytro Polishchuk did not submit the relevant document to the TEC. In addition, the representative of "Volyn" noted: "as far as I know, Viktor Yanukovych was nominated by the Party of Regions, not by the government." When asked where exactly in the material "One Must Live by One's Own Mind" he saw a connection between the government and Yanukovych, the complainant found no answer; he simply remained silent. Yesterday, members of the TEC recommended that D. Polishchuk go to court. On September 27, it will be 65 years since the newspaper "Volyn" has been published. For the first time in the history of the newspaper's existence, the question of terminating its publication has arisen. In Stepan Sachuk's material there is not a single mention of Viktor Yanukovych or the candidate's program.
