Yabloko confirms it received merger offer from SPS

Yabloko is confident that democratic forces in Russia should consolidate and is considering a proposal to combine efforts that came from Anatoly Chubais, one of the leaders of the Union of Right-Wing Forces (SPS).

Yabloko deputy chairman and State Duma deputy Sergei Mitrokhin confirmed that Yabloko had received such a letter from Chubais. He would not disclose any further details. Mitrokhin recalled that the two parties have been working for a long time to consolidate their activities, primarily coordinating their positions on fundamental issues. They have organized a joint political council and coordinated their legislative activities, he said. He did not rule out the possibility that democratic forces might nominate a single candidate in the forthcoming presidential elections, recalling that SPS co- chairman Boris Nemtsov had supported Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky in the last presidential elections
