Yesterday, on June 1, the Regional Council of the Moscow YABLOKO
once again examined the issue of YABLOKO’s participation in
the Consultative Council under the Moscow City Duma. It was
decided to delegate two YABLOKO’s representatives to the Consultative
Council.
Chair of the Moscow YABLOKO Sergei Mitrokhin and member of
the Regional Council Elena Morozova were elected out of five
candidacies by secret ballot.
“After long considerations we have decided to change our
position as regards our participation in the Consultative
Council. But we do not abolish our claims on the Moscow City
Duma elections, which were, in our view, falsified. However,
in the situation when most of the parties are excluded from
Moscow legislative process, we have to do all we can so that
to make the Consultative Council an instrument of real influence
on the decisions of the Moscow City Duma. If we have such
an opportunity, even a hypothetical one, we ought to use it
in the interest of our electorate and Muscovites in general,”
Sergei Mitrokhin said commenting on the decision of YABLOKO’s
Regional Council.
