KIEV, Oct. 12 – The Batkivschyna United Opposition, Svoboda All-Ukrainian Union and Vitali Klitschko's UDAR Party have called for the re-privatization of enterprises withdrawn from state ownership illegally.
"One of the key statements in the program of the united opposition is the re-privatization of entire branches, which, in fact, were gifted to members of President [Viktor] Yanukovych's team: energy, transport, telecommunications, the power industry, the chemical industry, and titan branch," the deputy head of the Batkivschyna central election headquarters, Andriy Pyshny, said on Ukrainian television's Channel 5 on Monday.
"On Wednesday Oleh Tiahnybok [Svoboda leader] and I will present a top-priority package of legislative economic initiatives of Svoboda. The first is a completely new law on privatization. There are four of them now. The second [initiative] is a law on the liquidation of private monopolies. They have to be destroyed. And the third law is on returning property and money from offshore zones, including Cyprus. At the moment we don't know who are the owners of our enterprises, it's impossible to sell them this way," member of Svoboda Union Oleksandr Bondar said.
