Initiators of a referendum on Okhta-Centre to appeal St.Petersburg
parliament�s ban on the referendum in court. This announcement
was made by Chair of St.Petersburg YABLOKO and one of organisers
of the referendum Maxim Reznik at the Ekho Moskvi radio
station.
�This time the Legislative Assembly of St.Petersburg demonstrated
absolute absence of any respect to the city dwellers saying
that the legislators can not give a definition what a historical
outlook of St.Petersburg is. But I am certain that shall
find counter-measures against another slap on the face as
regards the citizens,� Reznik said.
�After such a renown person as [writer] Daniil Granin supported
the referendum, such a decision shows not merely a lack
of respect to some impersonalized mass of people, as deputies
of St.Petersburg�s Legislative Assembly see the city dwellers,
it is absence of respect to those whom these deputies elect
honorary citizens,� he stressed. According to Reznik, the
YABLOKO party will spare no effort so that Okhta-Centre
would not spoil the historical outlook of St.Petersburg.
