The Russian United Democratic Party YABLOKO expresses its
categorical protest in connection with the actions of the
Chair of the Sverdlovsk Electoral Commission V.D.Mostovschikov.
Mostovschikov made multiple statements in the mass media
on alleged violations of law in proposing the list of candidates
to the election, the documents submitted to the electoral
commission, including signatures submitted for enrollment
in the race, prior to adoption of decisions by the electoral
commission. We assess the actions of the Chair of the Sverdlovsk
Electoral Commission as unlawful, biased and virtually representing
propaganda in favour of other parties participation in the
election, first of all progovernmental United Russia.
Refusing to register YABLOKO in the race the governmental
party removes a tough opponent who is ready to tell about
its unsightly policies in the Sverdlovsk region, thus ousting
it from the regional parliament. The YABLOKO party expresses
its distrust to the Chair of the Sverdlovsk Electoral Commission.
We demand from the Central Electoral Commission to initiate
dismissal of Mostovschikov from the post of regional commission
chair.
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chair of the YABLOKO party
