Interfax, 24.04.2012. YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin
doubts that the acting President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev
will be able to do more for liberalisation of Russias political
system at the Prime Minister post than now.
"I doubt that in his new post he will do more for realisation
[of this] than at present. And he has not done much for this
at the post of the President, Mitrokhin told to Interfax.
Also Mitrokhin states that with transition to premiership
from presidency Dmitry Medvedev will have less powers for
implementation of his own initiatives than at the post of
the President of Russia.
"When speaking about his plans Medvedev has forgotten
that he will be only Prime Minister. On many issues Vladimir
Putins position is obviously different, Mitrokhin says.
On Tuesday during the State Council meeting, the acting president
of Russia Dmitry Medvedev said that "freedom is better
than lack of freedom was his political creed.
