Civil Network OPORA continues informing you about observation results of MPs' constituency activities. OPORA's observers are mostly focused on adherence to Law requirements concerning personal reception of citizens, their work in the district, functioning of receptions etc.
This report covers activities of three majoritarian MPs in Zakarpattia oblast: Robert Horvat (SMD #68), Vasyl Petiovka (SMD #72) and Ivan Baloha (SMD #73).
Horvat Robert Ivanovych works in his constituency non-systematically, don't cooperate with the voters and, despite he is open for outer communication, he doesn't inform the public about results of his activities. The MP haven't had any personal reception hours during the observation period. He has participated in one public event which wasn't directly related to his parliamentary activities, but aimed rather to boost his image by attending it. The voters usually appeal to the MP through his reception office which functions properly and systematically, and conveys the latest information from the voters. Assistants to the MP, who are available in the reception, can provide information about his activities in person or by phone. However, to provide information about the nearest plans of the MP, they need to contact him personally for specifications. It should be mentioned that assistants are open for communication and ready to provide full information through means and within dates that are convenient for an inquirer. However, the MP didn't inform the voters about the results of his activities, about his current tasks and plans for the next period. There is no information about the MP in the media, as well as on official information pages of the party or personal pages in social networks.
