On September 9, in the regional center, opposite the premises of the Volyn Directorate of "Ukrposhta," representatives of the Volyn Regional Organization of Labor and Military Service Veterans "European Integration Fund" held a protest action in the form of a warning picket. As became known, for already a month there has been a conflict between the regional directorate of "Ukrposhta" and the corresponding public organization over the subscription to the newspaper "Silski Visti." According to the head of the Volyn Regional Organization of Labor and Military Service Veterans "European Integration Fund," Mykola Nikitiuk, this public organization last month found funds for a subscription to the newspaper "Silski Visti" for 12,500 low-income residents of our region. Accordingly, funds in the amount of 152 thousand hryvnias were transferred to the Volyn Directorate of "Ukrposhta" for the newspaper subscription. The subscription was accepted, but after some time the Volyn Directorate of "Ukrposhta" refused the "European Integration Fund" the subscription, motivating its decision by the absence of a corresponding agreement and subscriber signatures. Accordingly, the funds for the subscription were returned. In Mr. Nikitiuk's opinion, such unlawful actions on the part of the Volyn Directorate of "Ukrposhta" are connected with the elections, since they aim to prevent a mass opposition newspaper, which is published with a circulation of 500 thousand copies, from reaching the readership of the region's districts, and are also due to the biased attitude toward "Silski Visti" of the head of the Volyn branch of "Ukrposhta" himself, Yaroslav Kravchuk. In this case, it should be noted that the Volyn Regional Organization of Labor and Military Service Veterans "European Integration Fund" filed a complaint about the actions of the Volyn Directorate of "Ukrposhta" with the city court, the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Ukraine, and the Committee on Education and Science of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Will Silski Visti fail to reach Volyn readers?
