The Communist Party of Ukraine has issued a statement denouncing the refusal of the Central Election Commission to register the Party's leader, Petro Symonenko, as a candidate for the March 31st presidential elections:
The non-admission to the presidential election of the candidate of the Communist Party that is officially registered by the Ministry of Justice and regularly submits tax reports is a purely political action based on anti-constitutional laws on “de-communization” adopted by the ruling regime o oligarch-Nazis after the February 2014 armed coup.
