Rybakov “abbraccia” il Papa: il primo obiettivo per tutti? Mettere fine allo spargimento di sangue

Raffaella Chiodo Karpinsky
Il presidente del partito Yabloko:”La Russia è sempre stata, è, e sarà uno Stato europeo. Sia geograficamente che culturalmente Nessuno può negarlo, il nostro destino è di stare insieme”
D In un vostro comunicato stampa esprimete dubbi sui risultati delle elezioni.
R Sì, diverse migliaia di rappresentanti del nostro partito sono membri delle commissioni elettorali distrettuali di livello inferiore (dove si vota direttamente). Ma il sistema in Russia è ormai strutturato in modo tale che tutte le decisioni vengono prese in anticipo. Se nella tua lista di candidati ci sono Putin e altre tre persone che occupano esattamente la stessa posizione politica e che lo sostengono attivamente a che servono le violazioni?

Statement by the Federal Bureau of Yabloko, adopted on 28.03.2024
Photo: Alexander Koryakov, Kommersant
In connection with the monstrous terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, calls from high stands for the return of the death penalty in Russia are heard again. As the bearer of the Russian and European humanistic tradition, the Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko is categorically against the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty.
We believe that Russian society is able to withstand this difficult test with dignity without returning to the practice of legalised murder. Feelings of pain and anger should not overshadow a sober head. Experience shows: the capital punishment does not prevent crime, but the possibility of the slightest mistake when imposing a death sentence creates the risk of killing an innocent person – the number of such examples is countless in history.

Today I sent a gift to the Governor of the Astrakhan region Igor Babushkin – the book “White Bim Black Ear” [about a tragic fate of dog whose master died]. The Governor reported from time to time on his work to support animal shelters. But in the end, he apparently decided – why bothering, they should be killed right away.
The decision allowing to euthanise dogs IMMEDIATELY AFTER CAPTURE was adopted by Babushkin’s subordinates – the regional Veterinary Department.
