Rightists Continue Discussing Idea of a Democratic Coalition

The concluding statement of the congress [The Union of Right-Wing Forces (SPS) on 26 June], Interfax reported on 26 June, said that "the most important task in preparations for the parliamentary elections of 2007 is to form a broad coalition of forces that share the party's principal values -- a democratic civil society, a market economy, defense of human and property rights, and a European path of development for Russia." SPS Presidium Secretary Boris Nadezhdin told "Gazeta" on 25 June that the party is considering closer relations both with democratic movements such as Yabloko and Committee-2008 and with "certain people now working in the government and the Duma who share our worldview and political practices." Nemtsov told "Gazeta" that "United Russia is the party of the president. It does not have right and left wings." Prime-TASS reported on 28 June that Chubais told journalists during the congress that the SPS is prepared to enter into talks on closer relations with Yabloko. Chubais said that the 26 June congress put an end to the "inertia of defeat."
