Press release, 14.06.2016
YABLOKO activists brought flowers to the Ambessy of the United States to commemorate the people who were killed during the attack on the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando. YABLOKO Deputy Chair Alexander Gnezdilov, Moscow Regional Council members Grigory Semyonov, Olga Radayeva, Kirill Goncharov, Nikolai Kavkazsky and the party Federal Council member Dmitry Ilushin participated in the ceremony.
YABLOKO Chairperson Emilia Slabunova also expressed condolences in connection with the tragedy:
“The tragedy in Orlando has once again shown not only the fragility and exposure of a human’s life but also demonstrated the consequences of the failure of the authorities to act, since the person who committed this monstrous crime was one of those who do not hide their man-hating views. The aggression as a way to make headlines, dictate one’s vision of norms is blazing up in different parts of the world among people of different views and traditions. I accept no type of cruelty. Radicalism, intolerance, absolutization of one’s ideas are unacceptable. I feel for the residents of Orlando in connection with the tragedy in their city.”
