In the Ministry of Justice they named the only option for Simonenko to register as a presidential candidate
Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko said that if the leader of the Communist Party of Ukraine Petro Symonenko wants to run for president, he can do so only as an independent self-nominating candidate.
Petrenko noted that parties whose activities fall under the law on decommunization do not have the right to nominate their candidates for president, writes “Novoe Vremya” citing Interfax-Ukraine.
“Thus, theoretically in a legal sense one can speak only about such a possibility of his participation in the elections… The Central Election Commission and bodies that conduct checks determine whether a party is under the prohibition under the decommunization law for nominating a particular candidate. If such a party falls under the prohibition, then it does not have the right to nominate candidates for the presidential or parliamentary campaign,” the minister noted.
He added that besides the CPU there are also a number of “their satellites,” and such a prohibition by law also applies to them.
