Regional Papers Reject Yabloko's Election Program
Regional newspapers are refusing to publish the pre-election programs of 'Yabloko' candidates. Candidates from the 'Yabloko' party in seven regions have encountered refusals and obstacles when attempting to publish their pre-election programs.
Consensus
- Regional newspapers in seven Russian regions have refused to publish the 'Yabloko' election program.
- The unified program consists of 43 words and includes the slogan 'For peace and freedom.'
- The program contains the phrase 'cessation of hostilities' and 'peace,' which some media outlets requested be removed.
- The party considers the refusals an attempt to restrict lawful campaign activities.
- Candidates plan to pursue legal avenues to ensure publication and challenge unjust denials.
- The refusal to publish occurred in the same regions: Perm Krai, Stavropol Krai, Kaliningrad Oblast, Kemerovo Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Ulyanovsk Oblast, and Yakutia.
- The 'Yabloko' federal list was removed from the State Duma elections by the Supreme Court following a lawsuit by 'Rodina.'
