YABLOKO supported rally for preservation of Torfyanka park
Press release, 10.07.2015
On July 9, YABLOKO activists participated in a rally against the illegal construction of a temple in Torfyanka park, Moskow. More than 600 people took part in the action.
The authorities allowed to start the construction while the necessary legal requirements were not complete. The authorities falsified the public hearings, so the local residents were not properly informed about their holding. Even the Prosecutor’s Office admitted these violations.
The local residents claim that the park is the only green space in the district and they won’t give it up for construction. Over two thousand signatures have already been collected against the construction of the temple.
