Press Release, 3.03.2020
On 29 February, the Bashkirian branch of Yabloko took part in a rally of Ufa residents against unreasonably high prices for heating. Over 500 people took part in the action.
Yabloko members and supporters held posters “We demand recounting of overcharged fees: those responsible should be taken to account! We demand money back! ”
“I am glad that many people begin to participate in protest rallies. When there are many of us, there are few of them. We cannot be defeated while we hold together!” Albert Khusainov, Chairman of the Bashkirian Yabloko, emphasised.
It should be noted that the residents of Ufa have united into a movement Stop BashRTS against overstated utility tariffs. The residents of Ufa are outraged that payment for heating has increased three-fold since the beginning of the year, the residents attribute this to “manipulations with metering devices”.
