About it Litinsky himself wrote on Facebook.
The activist demands that the Ministry of Internal Affairs be obliged to provide him with an authentic translation in the state language of the speech of the Minister of Internal Affairs during the official launch of the new police in Lviv.
The activist notes that in response to his request to provide a translation, the ministry refused to do so, so the activist filed a lawsuit.
The hearing of the case will take place on September 3 in the Lviv District Administrative Court.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, Last year, Litinsky won a lawsuit to cancel the Russian-language page in his Ukrainian passport, and recently he received the first passport in Ukraine without a Russian-language page.
In addition, as follows from the materials on Litinsky’s page on the social network, he is also suing two Ukrainian banks on the language issue - PrivatBank and UniCreditbank, demanding that they provide him with receipts exclusively in Ukrainian.
Also Litinsky is suing Mazda, Ford and Mitsubishi Motors Ukraine car dealerships due to the lack of car menus in Ukrainian.
It is also interesting that true Ukrainian patriots in the comments on Litinsky’s page call the patriotic Ukrainian minister Avakov exclusively “a goat-faced Virmenin.”
