In his interview to the "Ukrainian Radio" Mykola Tomenko said the coalition will thrive given its members make an in-depth analysis of difficulties in its formation. He noted that both the Regions Party and "Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense" members were in charge of lingering formation of the coalition. Mr Tomenko also slammed an opinion that the coalition of democratic forces will operate within the President and will be assisted by him in any controversial issues. This is why, the "Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense" cannot make its final choice of the speaker, Mykola Tomenko said. He also seeks the "Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense" to hit back a blackmail by seven representatives of the pro-presidential party, who were against the coalition because of personal ambitions and opportunities for personal gains.
