Rybakov “abbraccia” il Papa: il primo obiettivo per tutti? Mettere fine allo spargimento di sangue

Raffaella Chiodo Karpinsky

Il presidente del partito Yabloko:”La Russia è sempre stata, è, e sarà uno Stato europeo. Sia geograficamente che culturalmente Nessuno può negarlo, il nostro destino è di stare insieme”

 D In un vostro comunicato stampa esprimete dubbi sui risultati delle elezioni.

R Sì, diverse migliaia di rappresentanti del nostro partito sono membri delle commissioni elettorali distrettuali di livello inferiore (dove si vota direttamente). Ma il sistema in Russia è ormai strutturato in modo tale che tutte le decisioni vengono prese in anticipo. Se nella tua lista di candidati ci sono Putin e altre tre persone che occupano esattamente la stessa posizione politica e che lo sostengono attivamente a che servono le violazioni?

The Yabloko party advocates a final and absolute ban on the death penalty in Russia

Statement by the Federal Bureau of Yabloko, adopted on 28.03.2024

Photo: Alexander Koryakov, Kommersant

In connection with the monstrous terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, calls from high stands for the return of the death penalty in Russia are heard again. As the bearer of the Russian and European humanistic tradition, the Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko is categorically against the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty.

We believe that Russian society is able to withstand this difficult test with dignity without returning to the practice of legalised murder. Feelings of pain and anger should not overshadow a sober head. Experience shows: the capital punishment does not prevent crime, but the possibility of the slightest mistake when imposing a death sentence creates the risk of killing an innocent person – the number of such examples is countless in history.
