The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO
Bureau of the Federal Council
Statement

On the Presidential Elections

Moskovskiy, Moscow Region, February 20, 2004

The Bureau of the Federal Council of the Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO notes that the developments in the presidential election campaign have confirmed the assessment and forecast provided by the 12th congress of the party: the elections have been transformed into a political farce.

The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO considers it impossible to participate in another imitation of democratic procedures. We proceed from the premise that people see the growing lack of freedom in the country, lack of equality of participants in pseudo-democratic elections, the bankruptcy and even comic nature of the candidacies. We believe that in these circumstances non-participation in the elections of the President of the RF represents a natural form of protest for people with democratic views.

The Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO will continue the work of the party on creating a broad democratic coalition, and participation in regional and local elections, as it believes that the creation of cells of political influence in the regional and local legislative and executive authorities to be a priority in the movement towards a really free and democratic society.

Chairman of the party

Grigory Yavlinsky
