YABLOKO has never supported and will not support a candidate from a pro-government party at the gubernatorial elections in the Trans-Baikal Territory
Press Release, May 27, 2013
The information circulated by some media that the YABLOKO party will support the candidacy of Konstantin Ilkovsky representing a pro-government Just Russia party at the coming gubernatorial elections in the Baikal Territory is not true. The regional branch of YABLOKO has never adopted a decision on the possible support of that candidate.
The decision making on such issues are in the competence of the federal Bureau of YABLOKO.
“I consider unacceptable for us to support a candidate from the authorities at such important elections,” said YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin. “The fact that Konstantin Ilkovsky belongs to the Just Russia party does not represent for us a significant difference between his work and the policies of the present regime,” he noted.
