| The YABLOKO party will participate in the presidential
elections scheduled on March 2012. YABLOKOs candidate to
run in the elections will be Grigory Yavlinsky, YABLOKO founder
and member of the party Political Committee. Such a statement
was made by YABLOKO Chair Sergei Mitrokhin at his press-conference
in Vladimir.
According to Mitrokhin, such a decision was adopted by the
Political Committee.
However, Mitrokhin also noted that YABLOKO would be ready
to discuss other candidacies from the democratic opposition.
We are not imposing our candidate, but we offer to discuss
all the candidacies during primaries, and we invite all the
democratic parties, organisations and movements in spite of
the fact whether they were registered or not to participate
in such primaries, Mitrokhin said.
We will certainly fight for our candidate Grigory Yavlinsky.
I think that he is a consistent democrat who has always had
a firm position and has never succumbed or run from the opposition
to the governments and back. He can voice a consolidated position
of the whole democratic opposition, Mitrokhin added.
YABLOKOs Chairman also specially marked that the party completely
ruled out participation of nationalists, the radical left
or extremists in such primaries.
