"In December, 2004 and in January, 2005 on meeting of Presidium of
ruling part of party "Apple" a question about further development of
party was discussed. Guidance of party admitted that on this stage of
development party "Apple" executed its historical mission: it touches
prevention of Ukraine's crawling to authoritarian regime, overthrow of
Leonid Kuchma's regime, democratization of society, realization of
honest elections of President of Ukraine, etc.
Besides, it
was declared that in connection with a political situation changed
after "orange revolution", the process of enlargement of political
forces goes in the country.
"We decided, that for the
further successful decision of programmatic tasks of our party, for
consolidation of the whole democratic forces of Ukraine it will be
expedient to unite parties "Apple" and "Native land", - the Chairman of
party "Apple" Michael Brodsky declared. - "Apple" is a democratic party
by its spirit, and such questions we can decide only on general
convention of party, by the secret vote. For example, the decision
about the dismissal of party can be accepted no less, then two thirds
of delegates' voices".
Party convention is already planned: it
will pass approximately on March, 12 or 19 in the capital. It is
expected, that convention will end with meeting of the leaders of
"Apple" and "Native land". Regional organizations conduct conferences,
discuss the question of further party activity. "The way of development
of party "Apple" depends on convention's results, - Michael Brodsky
says. - Certainly, there are suggestions of ruling part, but we want,
that ten of thousands of colleagues - "applemen" make decision about
the future of the party.
