We will solve the issue by the whole world
Dear citizens, dear colleagues in political and public work!

This became possible only thanks to the active social position of citizens, residents of the city of Pskov, who supported the initiative of the referendum with their signatures. We are grateful to every citizen who took part in the signature campaign.
A referendum on the structure of local authorities is the first Pskov city referendum.
This is the creation of the most important precedent of the direct civil participation of residents in determining the political structure of our city.
We are convinced that the referendum is vital for all citizens, all political parties and public associations operating in the city of Pskov. This is a common, supra -party school of civil policy.
We urge all active residents, all activists of parties and public associations to take part in the organization and holding of a referendum.
In the situation of the citywide political crisis in Pskov, the local referendum today has become an opportunity for political consensus of authorities and citizens, parties and public associations. This is the most civilized exit from the situation that allows everyone to express their opinion, to go out to an open conversation with the city community, to make a decision agreed with most residents.
Around the referendum initiative, many provocative intentions and actions arose. All of them aimed at discrediting the very idea of popular plebiscite, the very meaning of civil participation in politics.
We urge all political leaders to decide with whom they are: with citizens of the city or with narrow corporate clans, alien to the interests and rights of citizens. The attitude to the referendum is today in Pskov, in the Pskov region, the watershed between a responsible and destructive policy, no matter what words it is covered.
The initiative group officially confirms that it is open for partnership and cooperation with everyone who is ready to work in the interests of the city of Pskov, residents of the city of Pskov.
Local self -government is the basis of the life of our country. His formation by the citizens themselves directly is the best school of real democracy. We offer all responsible citizens, parties, public associations to go through this school together.
Initiative group of local referendum.
