The program of presidential candidate Petro Symonenko allows the state budget to receive an additional 35-40 billion hryvnias annually. This was stated by Petro Symonenko himself at a press conference in Lutsk. In particular, Petro Symonenko advocates the introduction of a state monopoly on foreign trade, the production and sale of alcoholic and tobacco products, and medicines. "We will receive 15 billion hryvnias from the monopoly on vodka and tobacco products alone… If we bring order to customs – that is 10 billion hryvnias additionally. If the banking system, regardless of its form of ownership, works in the interests of the state – that is at least another 500 million hryvnias. If we bring order to the use of natural resources – that is several more billion. If we bring order to the use of benefits by certain structures… – that is at least another 10 billion additionally per year. From these sources alone that I have listed – we will have at least 35-40 billion hryvnias additionally," stated Petro Symonenko. However, Petro Symonenko believes that "the main source for the future should be the manufacturing sector." Symonenko also stated that he holds a principled position: "whoever owns – is the one who is rich: whether oligarchs or the people of Ukraine." Symonenko holds a separate position regarding customs. "Customs is the face of the state, but a face as in a crooked mirror. I proceed from this position: if a swindler sits at the border, then exactly the same swindler, only of a different sort, sits in the president's chair. If the state is being robbed at our border, then in the same way the state is being robbed in Kyiv, using the president's chair," stated Petro Symonenko. It is planned that Symonenko will hold two meetings with voters today: in Kovel at 13:00 and in Lutsk near the "Promin" cinema at 17:00. Also at 20:30 a live broadcast is planned on the "Tonis" TV channel, organized by the "Polissia-TV" studio.
