Party of burning caps

In Novosibirsk, election advertising for “A Just Russia” was removed from passenger transport. The advertisement contained the slogan “For a Russia without swindlers and thieves” (as well as a more specific one: “Do members of the party of swindlers and thieves hire only their own people?”), and the reason for removing the advertisement was: “propaganda against United Russia.”

A copy of the act “on the discovery of a violation of the terms of the contract for passenger transportation” is being distributed on blogs. The motivation for campaigning against the party in power is written in pen next to paragraph 2.7.2 - “advertising information (inside, outside) without agreement with the customer.”

As the Sib.fm website reports from the words of the candidate for Duma deputy from A Just Russia, Alena Popova, the city administration began to summon the drivers of minibuses and buses on which the party’s advertisements were placed, “they drew up acts of violation, and fined them 5-7 thousand.” .

According to representatives of A Just Russia, the advertisement began to be removed after the visit of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to the city, who allegedly saw a bus with a slogan that mentioned swindlers and thieves, and allegedly asked officials “why they are trashing United Russia like that.” At the same time, A Just Russia notes that the election commission had no complaints about the advertising.
