YABLOKO has obtained information that the Central Electoral
Commission has been preparing a letter to the subordinate
commissions demanding not to let journalists and observers
from YABLOKO’s paper YABLOKO ROSSII come to the polling stations.
Vladimir Churov, head of Central Electoral Commission, will
try to prove that observers’ certificates were signed by “Sergei
Mitrokhin, YABLOKO Chairman”, and not by “Sergei Mitrokhin,
Editor-in-Chief”.
However, YABLOKO’s lawyers said that the certificates were
issued correctly, as Mitrokhin does not have a position of
Editor-in-Chief, as the founder of the paper – the YABLOKO
party – acts as the editorial staff of the paper.
“Such a decision by the Central Electoral Commission would
mean that the authorities decided to go for a grand-scale
fraud,” Mitrokhin said.
According to Mitrokhin, at December parliamentary elections
YABLOKO’s observers detected most of the violations and fraud.
If dozens of thousands of YABLOKO’s observes are not allowed
to monitor the elections, they will go into the streets on
the next day, March 5.
