Klitschko bribes voters

The closer the elections, the more dirty laundry and evidence of bribery is documented. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko decided to win extra votes using an old, proven method – bribery. However, he does so discreetly, hiding behind so-called assistance from the city administration.

The most active electorate – Kyiv pensioners – received letters in which Klitschko stated that, despite a shortage of financial resources, material assistance had been transferred to their cards to mark the International Day of Older Persons.

«Сьогодні обурені пенсіонери принесли до моєї громадської приймальні листа від Кличка, де він за місяць до виборів за прикладом Черновецького підкуповує старших людей... пенсіонери кажуть: "за кого вони нас мають, спочатку доводять до зубожіння, а потім до виборів кидають 100 грн"» (Today, outraged pensioners brought a letter from Klitschko to my public reception office, where he is bribing elderly people a month before the elections, following Chernovetsky's example... pensioners say: "Who do they think we are? First, they reduce us to poverty, and then throw 100 hryvnias at us before the elections"), - reported Andrii Pavlovskyi on his internet page, accompanied by a photograph of those very "letters of happiness".
