The tragedies in the Moscow metro continue but their causes aren’t investigated
Statement by the YABLOKO party, 15.07.2014
On behalf of the YABLOKO party I express deep condolences to the relatives of those who who died in the Moscow metro today. I wish a quick recovery to the casualties.
The situation with safety in the Moscow metro causes anxiety, the questions to the Moscow metro management arise.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin pointed out more than once that the transport security in the metro was supplied at a high level.
After today’s tragedy and a number of other accidents at the Moscow metro it’s obvious that those statements were a regular portion of personal PR which hide an unattractive reality.
Besides, the officials didn’t provide any information about the previous accidents to the public.
We demand a careful investigation of the causes of the tragedy and a public record about it. Not only the technical reasons of this certain tragedy but the estimation of the whole safety system of the Moscow metro should be the result of the investigation.
YABLOKO Chairman,
Sergei Mitrokhin
