Milinkevich denies interview to opposition daily Narodnaya Volya

Alexander Milinkevich, the leader of the For Freedom movement, has refused to answer questions from the journalists of the opposition daily Narodnaya Volya on the grounds that he does not agree with the editorial position of the newspaper. Narodnaya Volya reporters tried to reach Alexander Milinkevich and his wife Ina Kulei for the past several days in order to pose several questions about the June 18 surgery on Alexander Milinkevich. However, their phones were switched off. Eventually, the journalists sent their questions by e-mail.

The reply received by e-mail was as follows: "In connection with the editorial policy which is part of the discreditation campaign (against Milinkevich), at this stage Alexander Milinkevich does not see it possible to continue cooperation with your newspaper and to be an author of materials".

Apparently, Milinkevich's reaction was caused by Mikhail Padaliak's article titled "Bleacher M" published by Narodnaya Volya in May.
