Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetskiy claims he has not begun collecting signatures in support of Tymoshenko’s government dismissal.
“I have not begun collecting signatures and I need yet time to consult – is everything as bad as I think. I may not know something”, Chernovetskiy claimed at a press conference on Monday.
At the same time, he agreed that a month ago he made a statement pledging that his team would begin to collect signatures for dismissal of the Yulia Tymoshenko’s government if money are not paid to budget structures employees and pensioners.
Asked whether his actions are connected with similar actions of the Party of Regions, the Kyiv Mayor said: “It is not connected at all with any statements of any parties”.
Asked by a journalist whether his statement was a mere PR-action, L.Chernovetskiy said: “PR is when there is an audience, and you communicate directly with them. It is the best PR-action. Take any my speech at a square, you will feel bad of what you will see. I hear every Kyiv resident and try to do my best. This is my PR-action”, the Kyiv Mayor said.
