A campaign to collect signatures in support of a lawsuit against Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his removal from office has started in Kyiv region.
“We’re beginning to collect signatures and are launching a full-scale campaign to oust the incumbent president from office,” the head of Kyiv regional branch of the Batkivschyna Party, who also heads the regional electoral headquarters of the united opposition, Konstiantyn Bondarev, said at a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday.
A so-called tent campaign starts on July 17, the first deputy head of Kyiv regional election headquarters of the Batkivschyna’s united opposition, Volodymyr Polochaninov, said.
“Tents will be set up in all district centers and towns of Kyiv region,” he said, adding that there will be a total of 50 tents.
According to him, signatures will be collected in these tents for a lawsuit against Yanukovych.
“Anyone who wishes to study the lawsuit, or sign the relevant documents, can come into such tent, read the documents, sign a petition and join the case as a third party,” Polochaninov said.
