The Moscow Mayor's Office refused to agree on an application filed on March 15 to hold a rally in defense of land and housing rights of Muscovites. about this on the page of the Muscovites Against Demolition group on Facebook . wrote Elena Rusakova, deputy of the municipal assembly of the Gagarinsky district from the Yabloko party, who is the applicant for the rally,

According to Rusakova, today, March 21, the applicants received an oral response from a representative of the mayor's office about the refusal to approve the event, while the reasons for the refusal were not formulated. Rusakova notes that the applicants, by law, should have been offered alternative time and place options for holding the event, but this did not happen, despite a direct reminder of this. Applicants are going to appeal the refusal of approval, as well as submit new applications for holding

“The current refusal demonstrates that the mayor's office does not intend to contribute to the protection of the rights of Muscovites, and it is our duty to show our determination to defend these rights by all legal means.

We are convinced that the bill on “renovation” and the draft “Rules for Land Use and Development” should be rejected as fatal for the city,” Rusakova wrote.
