Today on January 29, 2010, the residents of the bulldozed Rechnik
village together with YABLOKO activists organised a mobile
picket in the form of automobile race. Since 2-30 p.m. picketing
took place by the RF Government’s building. YABLOKO’s leader
Sergei Mitorkhin took place in the action.
The participants of the picket hold a placard running “Yes
to the amnesty of dachas!” and picturing President Medvedev
and Prime Minister Putin.
“We consider all the developments in Rechnik complete lawlessness,
as not only a law on the “amnesty” of dachas but also a number
of other laws make bureaucrats to file property title on land
and houses in such cooperatives as Rechnik,” Mitrokhin told
to journalists. “We think that this lawlessness is performed
in the interests of bureaucracy and large business which would
like to use this territory. The state demonstrates its cynical
attitude to the people who with their own labour made money
for construction of their private houses on legally purchased
plots of land,” he added.
This time the police has not interfered with the picketing.
Then the cars by Rechnik residents and cars with YABLOKO’s
flags headed to Rechnik.
