On September 25 in the town of Borshchiv, Ternopilska oblast, a local rayon branch of the "Svoboda" party asked journalist Ihor Bilyk to leave the session. The issues to be considered at this "secret" part of the session were the pre-election party promotion and "miscellaneous issues". As Opora claims, such conduct violates the law of Ukraine "On local elections", which provides for "public and transparent" process of organizing the elections.
