Today, representatives of several public organizations of Volyn picketed the premises of the Volyn State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. The action was held under the slogans "New government – qualitatively new television and radio broadcasting!". The demand of the protesters is the resignation of General Director Sviatoslav Pyrozhko and other heads of the structure's subdivisions, since they have compromised the "high title of journalist and violated the principles of journalistic ethics." The Appeal distributed by the organizers of the action states that "the management of VODTRK has not cleansed itself of Kuchmism, of the devaluation of the word." Representatives of the VO "Our Ukraine" party, the public organizations "National Alliance," "Pora," and the "Association of Young Reformers" demand that the management provide truthful, prompt, impartial and unbiased information. The General Director, who was supposed to hold the weekly meeting, did not appear at the premises of the Regional State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. All employees of the structure were allowed into their workplaces. The organizers did not accept the invitation of the First Deputy of VODTRK Olha Kulish to the meeting, since they do not intend to interfere in the editorial policy of VODTRK. The organizers of the action are convinced that the management of Volyn Television should be dismissed. The head of the Lutsk city organization of the "Our Ukraine" party, Anatolii Parkhom'iuk, believes that the main mission of the event has been accomplished – public attention has been drawn to the personnel problems of the regional television company. According to him, these problems are becoming public ones, since the Volyn State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company is a powerful information medium of Volyn, and moreover it is financed from the state budget, money into which comes from our taxes.
