Representatives of the YABLOKO party, if they are given a word in St.Petersburg Legislative Assembly, will not raise new topics but return to the old issues. Such a statement Chair of St.Petersburg branch of YABLOKO Maxim Reznik made to the BalInfo.

“We shall raise the same topics our deputies Mikhail Amosov and Natalia Yevdokimova worded in the previous convocation of the Legislative Assembly, as these problems have only grown for the past years,” Reznik said. “Resignation of the Governor and return of free [gubernatorial] elections will be a blessing for the city. We have not got in the present convocation [of the Legislative Assembly] as we were not even allowed to participate in the elections, we were stopped at the collection of signatures stage. Such situation may return with the present Governor.”

In addition, according to Reznik, YABLOKO will also draw attention to the problems of city development, preservation of parks, lack of professionalism of utilities services and non-consistency of parliamentary opposition.

It should be noted that today St.Petersburg parliament has adopted a resolution granting a right to non-parliamentary parties (Ed. Such as YABLOKO at present) to participate in the sessions of the Legislative Chamber at least once a year.
