Participation in elections, as well as the organisation
and support of civil protest actions are the priorities for
the YABLOKO party for the period 2013 2018. Such a decision
was taken at yesterdays meeting of YABLOKO Bureau held in
Moscow.
"Our country has been experiencing a systemic crisis:
that of the legitimacy of power, legitimacy of large-scale
private property, public confidence in the government and
the political system in general," runs a special statement
of the Bureau on the objectives of the party in the long term.
YABLOKO must respond to the systemic crisis of the legitimacy
with formulation of a clear political platform of the democratic
opposition, which can base on YABLOKOs programme that has
been developed during decades on the basis of European democratic
values. "It is clear for us that the nationalist and
the radical left (Stalinist) assessments and proposals [for
the further development] are dangerous for the country, and
therefore unacceptable," emphasizes the Bureau.
YABLOKO is going to take part in the next key election campaigns:
to nominate their candidates for the presidential elections
and the mayoral elections in Moscow, and register lists of
candidates for the parliamentary elections and the Moscow
City Duma elections.
In the short term YABLOKO proposes to focus efforts on elections
to the Moscow City Duma, "For all of us elections to
the Moscow City Duma will provide a chance to demonstrate
our force to the authorities, as well as our desire for changes
and the will to win in the campaign, runs the statement.
In Moscow we have a real opportunity to ensure that the elections
are really competitive and to protect the results".
YABLOKO considers it necessary to create a list of candidates
that will be a true civil society list, and is ready to provide
YABLOKOs list as a platform for its formation. "We are
ready for a discussion and consultations with all the democratic
forces," runs the statement.
