Former Deputy Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko will lead a newly created National Salvation Forum electoral bloc of opposition parties in parliamentary elections next year. The founding declaration of the bloc was signed by Tymoshenko (Fatherland Party), Anatoliy Matviyenko (Sobor Party), Vasyl Onopenko (Social-Democratic Party), Levko Lukyanenko (Republican Party), Stepan Khmara (Conservative Republican Party), Oles Serhiyenko (Christian Democratic Party), and a representative of the Patriotic Party.
The bloc declares it will seek to win the elections, form a government, and oust President Leonid Kuchma. Tymoshenko told journalists that her bloc is going to propose "peaceful coexistence or cooperation" during the parliamentary elections to Socialist Party leader Oleksandr Moroz and former Premier Viktor Yushchenko. Moroz commented that the Socialist Party will not compete with the National Salvation Forum bloc in next year's elections.
