Fizyk was asked to resign and leave Transcarpathia

The management of the region asked the head of the Regional Forestry and Hunting Department Igor Fizyk to resign and leave the territory of Transcarpathia until Friday. "The forestry industry is in a mess.  I worked in this field for nearly nine years and I see what the situation is there now. Yesterday, Igor Fizyk was asked to resign. If he does not, I will appeal to the prosecutor’s office with the request to check his "activity", – the head of the RSA Vasyl Hubal said at the press conference.

In turn, the regional council chairman Ivan Baloha said that a resident of Transcarpathia should hold this position. "The current chief forester neglected the interests of the region, he obeyed instructions from Kyiv and the party leadership. This is wrong. The industry must be managed by a patriot of the region" – Baloha said.
