Candidate of Moscow Mayors from the RPR-Parnas Alexei Navalny will use the signatures of municipal deputies collected through the Council of Municipalities. We are talking about several signatures that are not enough for the passage of the "municipal filter", the main part of the signatures of Navalny gathered independently, emphasizes the head of the headquarters Leonid Volkov in his blog. He noted that the authorities were forced to make a political decision on the registration of Navalny.
The proposal of "United Russia" to transfer to Navalny 110 signatures Volkov called the primitive provocation. “The meaning is in one thing - to shout that“ Navalny did not collect anything ”(although he collected the most), and“ without the help of EP is nowhere ”(although he was not going to EP Navalny and is not going to use it). Primitively and stupid,” Volkov writes.
The day before, Volkov stated that Navalny would not meet with the chairman, Smol, Alexei Shaposhnikov to receive these support sheets. “These are the signatures of the uninterum deputies, it is obvious that these signatures are collected under pressure,” he explained the reason for the refusal.
The head of the Moscow branch of United Russia, Irina Belykh on Monday, reported that the signatures for Navalny were collected. She said that on Saturday she met Navalny. "Imagior to attacks on the party from Navalny, unicorn will help him overcome the municipal filter so that Muscovites have the most wide range of candidates in the election of the Moscow Mayor," Belykh said.
Sobyanin on July 3 stated that he would ask for municipal deputies to put his signatures for Navalny. According to Sobyanin, candidates from other parties will be able to participate in the campaign. “As far as I know, candidates from large famous political parties are successfully held by the“ municipal filter, ”he said. According to the law, candidates for mayor from political parties should enlist 110 deputies from different areas. In addition to Sobyanin, candidates from the Communist Party, Just Russia and Yabloko were held.
On June 30, a group of cultural figures published an appeal to municipal deputies of Moscow with an appeal to ensure real competition in the mayor’s elections. “We urge you to support the entry in the ballots for those who are not an administrative resource. Muscovites should get the opportunity to choose and see a convincing picture of their political preferences,” the appeal, which was signed by Boris Akunin, Lia Akhedzhakova, Julius Kim, Andrei Makarevich, Leonid Parfyanov, Eldar Ryazanov, Lyudmila Ulitskaya and Chulpan Khamatova.
