Journalists of Poltava complain that city executive committee officials evade them

On January 13, the representatives of Poltava city executive committee refused to answer the journalists' questions during the city celebration arranged by city mayor Oleksander Mamay, which took place at Teatralna square in the city. Nadia Trush, journalist from the online media outlet "Kolo", reported this to IMI.  According to her, initially the city mayor agreed to communicate with the journalists, but as soon as he heard that the questions are not related to the celebration, he left immidiately. Other present officials only agreed to answer questions and give comments off-record.
