The Pskov Regional Legislative Assembly was made an offer to deprive the deputy mandate from the Yabloko party, the founder of the opposition newspaper Pskov Province Lev Schlosberg, the Pskov Information Agency reports . The issue will be considered at the nearest session, which will be held on September 24.
The proposal was made by representatives of United Russia, Fair Russia, the LDPR and the Communist Party. The reason was the illegal, in their opinion, Schlosberg’s performance as a representative of the NPO “Renaissance” in court. The organization disputed its inclusion in the register of "foreign agents". In this regard, the prosecutor of the Pskov region Sergey Belov demanded to "take measures" to Schlosberg.
According to Belov, Schlosberg violated the law on the principles of the organization of legislative authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation, which prohibits the deputies to submit one of the parties at court hearings on civil or criminal cases.
The founder of Yabloko Grigory Yavlinsky believes that an attempt to deprive Schlosberg of deputy powers is illegal and is carried out at the personal instructions of the Pskov governor Andrei Turchak. "Lev Schlosberg is the only fundamental and consistent political opponent of Andrei Tourchak in the Pskov region," Yavlinsky writes.
“This decision was made in the context of the disclosure of the assassination of the murder of journalist Oleg Kashin,” the founder of Yabloko notes. “The only media of the Pskov region who told about the development of the case of Oleg Kashin and the possible role of the Turchak was the newspaper Pskov Province.
The party will “make everything necessary” to protect Schlosberg and his deputy status, as well as for early termination of the powers of Turchak, promises Yavlinsky.
In 2014, Schlosberg conducted an independent investigation into the cases of the participation of Russian paratroopers in battles in eastern Ukraine. The Pskov Province, headed by him, was the first to publish information about the burial of the two Pskov paratroopers Leonid Kichatkin and Alexander Osipov. On August 29, Schlosberg was attacked by unknown people .
In October 2014, deputies of the Pskov Legislative Assembly from United Russia and the LDPR already turned to the regional prosecutor demanding to check the activities of Schlosberg . He was guilty of the leadership of the NPO "Renaissance". At the same time, the deputies referred to the plot of the Vesti program. It stated that ANO "Renaissance" receives certain support from American political funds.
On September 7, Kashincalled the names of the attached but him . On Wednesday, "Kommersant published an interview with Elena Veselova, the wife of one of the accused of a crime. She directly pointed to the Turchak as a crime as a crime . Veselova said that her husband wrote a conversation with a Turchak in a Moscow cafe, where an" order "was discussed.
