Director of the Kolkiv Forestry, Oleksandr RYBCHYNSKYI, in the Manevychi district of Volyn region, last week ordered two employees to write resignation letters. The unofficial reason for this was that they had campaigned for President Viktor YUSHCHENKO during the election campaign. Within half an hour, nearly forty such applications from forestry employees, including accountants, were lying on the director's desk. As a result of such solidarity, no one was dismissed. This fact was reported by the deputy head of the Volyn regional organization of the Ukrainian People's Party, Volodymyr KINDRAT.While working in the Manevychi district during the pre-election period as an agitator, Volodymyr KINDRAT discovered facts of pressure and direct threats from government representatives toward public sector and civil service employees, which, as the facts confirm, are already beginning to be carried out. "In the event of failing to achieve 50-60% of votes for Yanukovych, they threatened dismissal from work to school principals, teachers, and heads of feldsher-midwife stations. Employees of certain district education departments, calling village teaching staffs, directly stated, 'if the village has fewer votes for Yanukovych than the entire teaching staff, consider that you may not come to work on November 2,'" noted Volodymyr KINDRAT. "In that case, all teachers, doctors and other public sector employees should be dismissed from work, because presidential candidate Viktor YANUKOVYCH received only 12.81% of voters' votes in the Manevychi electoral district, and even less in the region – 10.52%, unlike the leader of the Volyn election race Viktor YUSHCHENKO, for whom, according to preliminary CEC data, about 77% of the region's voters voted," added Volodymyr KINDRAT.
