on December 10, 2011
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin in his speech at the rally
at Bolotnaya Square, Moscow, said the number of participants
of the rally allowed to speak with the authorities on behalf
of Russia’s people.
"We are here to say to the ruling group: stop stealing
votes at elections, stop stealing power from us," Mitrokhin
said.
According to Mitrokhin, the people deceived by the government
has every right to demand from the law enforcement agencies
- the Prosecutor and the Investigation Committee - to study
"the extremely large number of evidence of fraud published
in the media and Internet" and then "file a lawsuit
in the Supreme Court demanding abolishing of these shameful
elections of December 4”.
Sergei Mitrokhin told that the State Duma was elected via
illegitimate voting on December 4, therefore there should
be new elections. “If the State Duma is elected be means of
stealing of votes, what it will do in the news five years?
It will continue sheltering thieves in the executive authority
and stamping new laws helping the thieves.”
“Russia will not be survive another five years of theft and
total corruption,” Mitrokhin said.
Mitrokhin also said that “the law enforcement must immediately
file criminal cases on several thousands thieves of votes”.
“We also have the right to demand dismissal of the main falsificator
[head of the Central Electoral Commission] Vladimir Churov
who bears not only political but also criminal responsibility
for the usurpation of power by the United Russia party and
other satellite parties,” he noted.
Mitrokhin also put forward a demand to dissolve the present
electoral commissions and form new commissions basing on a
different principle: one party – one electoral commission
member.
He also called the participants of the rally to come to a
rally against election fraud organised by YABLOKO on December
17. The action will take place at the Pushkin square at 4
p.m. Mitrokhin also added that YABLOKO would introduce its
programme for the short term at the rally.
Grigory Yavlinsky, YABLOKO top candidate and founder of the
party, thanked all who voted for YABLOKO and promised that
the party would protect the votes of all the people who had
come to elections.
Yavlinsky said that YABLOKO had already forwarded a complained
to the Central Electoral Commission demanding to cancel the
results of the voting. “However, the Central Electoral Commission
did not take our complaint saying that the campaign is over.
It is not true! It’s only the beginning of the campaign!”
he added.
“We, members of the YABLOKO party, are launching the campaign
for constitutional sweeping of Putin’s group from the power.
YABLOKO knows how to do it. We will succeed it all together
next year,” Yavlinsky said.
“We are for liberty and justice! We will not surrender our
country to them! We will win!” he concluded.
