The co -chairman of the Party of People’s Freedom Boris Nemtsov was invited to meet with President Dmitry Medvedev, Interfax reports. "Yesterday late in the evening I received this invitation by phone. Our meeting should take place on Monday," Nemtsov said. "I believe that our main task is to present the requirements of the Bolotnaya Square, Yakimanka and Sakharov Avenue. I also intends to raise the issue of political prisoners," Nemtsov said. “In addition, I consider it necessary to carry out political reform, in particular to introduce a restriction for one person to be president more than two times,” he added.
Last week, Vedomosti reported that Medvedev on February 20 would meet with the leaders of 5-7 parties who were refused to register. The meeting was conceived as a confirmation of the course for liberalization and the “beginning of dialogue with Bolotnaya”: “The Kremlin offers the non -systemic opposition not to balamn people in vain, but to legalize and begin the struggle for power in the political field.” According to the publication, the Law on the lightweight registration of parties will be adopted by the State Duma at an emergency meeting to the presidential election.
An invitation to a meeting with Medvedev was confirmed by the leader of the Russian public union Sergey Baburin and the leader of the party Konstantin Babkin. According to Vedomosti, the co -chair of the Party of People’s Freedom Mikhail Kasyanov and the leader of another Russia Eduard Limonov will definitely not be invited to the meeting. The Kremlin source made doubts that the leader of the Front’s mouth Sergei Udaltsov and Boris Nemtsov would be invited.
“Consultations with the non -playing opposition of the outgoing Medvedev is a weak, but still a signal of readiness to give way to something. The departing Medvedev will not invite me to a meeting with the opposition. This is a recognition of the sequence of my position. But the movement begins,” said the co -chairman of Parnassus, Mikhail Kasyanov, suggesting that they would “call Volodya Ryzhkov from Parnas.”
On February 8, the source in the Kremlin called the "premature" list of participants in the upcoming meeting. He confirmed that Medvedev plans to meet "both with the leaders of the registered parties represented and not represented in the State Duma, and with those who represent the political forces claiming to register parties in the future." “The president does not plan to discuss the issues of the results of the parliamentary elections, the president does not plan to discuss the current rally. Those who want and are ready to discuss political initiatives proposed by the Head,” a source in the Kremlin noted.
