“All happening around our candidates is a political crime,” YABLOKO Chair Emilia Slabunova said at a party rally for fair elections in Yaroslavl. “Because it is committed for political reasons, against political opponents – a specific political party and specific political leaders.” Emilia Slabunova came to Yaroslavl to support party candidates in the municipality of this city.

YABLOKO and party candidates pose a serious threat to the authorities, as the authorities make so much effort to organise all sorts of obstacles for our candidates,” Slabunova said. “What is not dangerous does not cause so much activity around. This means that everything we do is right: we have the right content of the campaign, the right ideas, and the right people who stand for election,” she noted.

Why every Muscovite should vote in the municipal elections

Emilia Slabunova blog post, 01.09.2017

Moscow is a city we live in, where we work and study, take children to schools and kindergartens, where we walk in parks and we go to shops. However, bureaucrats and officials have virtually deprived Muscovites of the right to determine what their city should be so that it would be comfortable to live in. The authorities do not consider your opinion – it is not interesting for them. Officials do not consider it necessary to ask you as Muscovites whether you like the changes they are imposing on you, the real owners of the city, whether you want the construction under your windows throughout all summer, or the number of outpatient clinics and schools reduced , or so that new skyscrapers emerge in your well-kept residential area.
