Press release, 18.05.2000

 

Yabloko supports the initiatives of the President regarding relationships between the federal centre and the regions and the order of the formation of the Federation Council.

The Yabloko faction supports the initiatives of the President of the Russian Federation regarding relationships between the federal centre and the regions, as well as the order of the formation of the Federation Council.

Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction Sergei Ivanenko informed journalists on May 18, 2000, that “Yabloko raised these issues a long time ago”. He also said that corresponding consultations had been held with Yabloko representatives and added that the proposals that the President is going to submit to the Duma are not "spontaneous decisions”. Sergei Ivanenko also expressed his opinion that the “margin of safety” for these projects should be at least 300 votes of Duma deputies, as they may be vetoed by the Federation Council after the adoption of these laws by the Duma.
