The St.Petersburg Legislative Assembly supported Yabloko’s law on the declassification of agreements on public-private partnership
Press Release, 24.01.2018
MPs of the St.Petersburg Legislative Assembly supported in the first reading the bill of the Yabloko faction, which obliges the city government to publish an agreement on public-private partnership envisaging financing from the city budget within seven days after conclusion of such an agreement, thus ensuring transparency of the budget spending.
Boris Vishnevsky, Chair of the Yabloko faction in the Legislative Assembly, expressed his satisfaction that Yabloko’s proposal was supported by representatives of all the factions of the Legislative Assembly, as 31 deputies voted for the bill.
“It is outrageous that MPs and residents of St. Petersburg fail to get agreements imposing obligations on the city published in the media, since officials refer to a trade secret norm,” Vishnevsky said.
“The residents of the city have every right to know what obligations the city government gave on their behalf,” he stressed.
