YABLOKO demands to conduct direct mayoral elections in Saratov
Press Release, November 28, 2013
The Saratov branch of YABLOKO sent an appeal to head of Saratov Oleg Grishchenko and deputies of the Saratov City Duma demanding to change the Charter of Saratov which runs that the mayor of the city is elected by deputies of the City Duma.
YABLOKO claims that the present system acts in the interests of bureaucracy and leads to crisis in the city’s governance. Only the direct mayoral election can express the will of the citizens.
YABLOKO calls all the political forces in Saratov to support this initiative and to develop joint actions to implement the initiative.
