Mitrokhin is for creation of a coalition of oppositional forces but without nationalists and oligarchic parties
Interfax, 15.10.2014
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin is ready to consider the PARNAS’s proposal to create an opposition coalition but the decision will depend on its [coalition] staff.
“No one addressed us personally [on the issue] but we are ready to consider any proposals including this one”, explained Mitrokhin.
“But we have serious principles. We cannot make coalitions with nationalists, radical political forces and forces who serve oligarchs. We cannot give the answer until we learn who will join the coalition”, said Mitrokhin.
Earlier co-Chairman of the PARNAS party Boris Nemtsov proposed the opposition parties and movements to create a single coalition.
“We propose our alliance partners to create a coalition to coordinate protest activities, advocacy and coordinate our activities at the elections to the State Duma in 2016 and presidential elections in 2018”, Boris Nemtsov told Interfax.
He emphasized that after today’s conference the party would start the process of negotiations and consultations
