RPR-PARNAS applied to the Supreme Court of Russia asking
to cancel the registration of YABLOKOs list of candidates
in the election to the Pervouralsk City Duma.
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin said that in this way the
Sverdlovsk branch of PARNAS defends the interests of the ruling
United Russia party.
"I have no complaints about PARNAS leaders. We realise
that they are not in control of their regional branches. But
the actions of the Sverdlovsk branch of PARNAS are connected
with their strong dependence on the ruling United Russia,
which uses them in its fight with a very dangerous rival in
the Pervouralsk elections- the YABLOKO party," that is
how Sergei Mitrokhin commented on the situation.
This is not the first lawsuit of RPR-PARNAS against YABLOKO
where PARNAS demands cancellation of registration of YABLOKOs
list of candidates for the Pervouralsk City Duma election.
Earlier, PARNAS had appealed to the Sverdlovsk Regional Court
so that to reverse the decision of the regional election commission
on registration of YABLOKOs list of candidates. The regional
electoral commission decided to register YABLOKO after the
refusal of a territorial electoral commission to do it.
Elections to the Pervouralsk City Duma will be held on 14
October. YABLOKOs list of candidates includes all the opposition
activists and acting MPs of the City Duma. The list is topped
by Maxim Petlin, leader of the Sverdlovsk Region branch of
YABLOKO.
The hearings in the Supreme Court of Russia will be held
tomorrow, October 11, at 11:00 am (Moscow, Povarskaya 15,
room 5035).
