The Ukrainian Interior Ministry has received 1,871 reports on violations in the presidential campaign, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said.
“A total of 89 criminal cases have been opened. There are also 422 administrative proceedings. We have received a total of 1,871 reports and are processing them equally so that no one could say the Interior Ministry is playing into the hands of the opposition, and the Prosecutor General’s Office is serving the president,” Avakov said in a program aired by the 1+1 TV channel on Feb. 24 night.
A total of 454 violations are attributed to Petro Poroshenko Bloc, 353 to Batkivschyna, 169 to Samopomich, 131 to Civil Position, and 122 to the Radical Party, he said.
Most of the reported violations are bribery, illegal outdoor advertisements, and hooliganism in the form of interference in rallies, Avakov said.
