Neverov stood up for Parnas

The Vice Speaker of the State Duma, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, Sergei Neverov, called the refusal of the RPR-Parnas party to participate in the Barnaul elections "not entirely objective," Gazeta.ru reports. "I think the refusal is not entirely objective. Parnassus’s participation in the elections to the City Duma of Barnaul would expand the possibilities of choosing for residents of the city," Neverov said.

The Barnaul election commission on Monday refused the regional branch of the Party of the RPR-Parnas in the assumption of the list of candidates for the City Duma. As a member of the party, Sergei Andreev, said on his Facebook page, the basis for refusal was the fact that the Republican Party of Russia could participate in the elections, and the party was submitted by the Party of the Republican Party of Russia - the Party of People's Freedom.

Party co -chair Vladimir Ryzhkov considers the refusal absurd. “The basis is absurd: the commission is not sure that the RPR and the RPR -Parnas are the same party, although this is directly recorded in the certificate of registration of the party, and the number in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is the same,” the politician on Facebook wrote . According to Ryzhkov, the refusal will be appealed in court on Tuesday. He did not rule out that he would file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights.

On August 2, the Ministry of Justice registered the "Republican Party of Russia - the Party of People's Freedom." Ryzhkov is the responsible secretary of the party’s political council. Previously, the Republican Party was registered, also led by Ryzhkov. This is the first time that the liquidated party was restored in court and went to the polls under a different name.

According to Kommersant, the Altai Territory is considered one of the key regions for the RPR -Parnas - there Ryzhkov was elected four times a deputy in a single -member district. The last time he was elected from Barnaul in 2003, gaining 35 percent of the vote - twice as many closest rivals.

On June 16, the Republican Party of Russia officially united in a new political organization with the Party of People’s Freedom. In addition to Ryzhkov, the co -chairs are Mikhail Kasyanov and Boris Nemtsov. The decision to unite with Parnassus and approval of the Institute of Consciousness was supported at the RPR congress according to the results of secret vote. In addition, a new charter, a party program and a declaration were adopted, which provides for the holding no later than 2013 early parliamentary and presidential elections.

On May 10, the Ministry of Justice restored the state registration of the Republican Party. The RPR has become the eighth Russian officially registered political party, now it can participate in the elections of legislative authorities of all levels. "

In mid -March, the Ministry of Justice sent to the Supreme Court a refusal to liquidate the republican party. Then the Ministry of Justice also promised to restore the RPR in the state register of legal entities. The application for the refusal of the requirements of the liquidation of the RPR appeared "as part of the agreed actions scheduled for consultations with the leadership of the party held on behalf of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and aimed at restoring the Republican Party," the press service of the department said.
