Petition calling on president to hold open press conference collects 25,000 signatures

A petition requesting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to hold an open press conference with independent journalists and the public has collected the 25,000 signatures needed for government consideration. The petition, submitted on August 27, was published on September 29 after several previous attempts to submit similar petitions were rejected.

Protests in Ukraine have continued for over a month, with citizens demanding an open dialogue. The petition highlights that although protests have ended, citizens' concerns remain unaddressed. It proposes an open press conference involving independent and critical media outlets to provide a genuine opportunity for citizens to be heard.

The petition calls on the President to facilitate such a press conference, emphasizing the importance of a real opportunity for citizens to engage with authorities and receive answers to their questions.
