Украйна: Лидерът на атаката срещу Карков обяснява подбудите си

Anatoly, the man who led the attack on the offices of the Party of Regions said they sought "to prevent the registration of the 'Opposition Bloc' as a political force" in Kharkov, Monday. The attackers oppose the planned registration of the new 'Opposition Bloc' political grouping which would comprise opponents of the current government in Kiev. Most of the Bloc's members would likely come from the Party of Regions, whose offices were used earlier in the day to discuss the founding of the "Opposition Bloc." Anatoly was speaking after the building was pelted with stones, firecrackers and smoke bombs earlier in the day. Unidentified assailants later detained a man they accused of being a member of the Opposition Bloc. Earlier on Monday a rally had been held demanding the local branch be officially registered to the 'Opposition Bloc' to take part in the October regional elections. That move reportedly triggered the assault on the party offices.
