Old tricks in Novo-Pedelkin
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the dismissal of the head and deputy head of the district administration of Novo-Pedelkino after the appearance of a video about the preparatory fraud in the municipal elections. In the region, all chairmen of precinct election commissions were replaced, the mayor said .
“We are trying to hold the most honest elections. But, apparently, not everyone likes this,” the mayor wrote on Twitter. “For gross violations in Novo -Peredelkino, he fired the head of the administration, the deputy head of the government. Documents on Monday will be transferred to the prosecutor’s office. All the chairmen of the election commissions in the region were replaced.”
On the night of Saturday, the video was published “How much honest elections are there?”, In which the deputy head of the administration of Novo-Predelkin Svetlana Antonova discusses with representatives of the precinct election commissions the methods of tags in the elections.
Antonova explains how to “take into account the turn of our supporters” and requires not starting the calculation of ballots without a call from the council. She also advises to “cut” members of election commissions. As the deputy head of the council explains, it is necessary "in the district, our five went through the district." She says to one of the interlocutors: "Now our fate depends, the whole council is money and time, on how we will hold the elections."
In several episodes, Antonova transfers envelopes with unknown contents to the interlocutors, which he calls "reward" and "advance".
Antonova told Medusa that the video recording "is not true." “The terrible slander, a terrible cut. I'm just shocked now,” said the deputy head of the council.
On Saturday morning, a meeting of the Moscow City Election Commission was held in connection with the publication of the video. According to the source of Medusa, close to the city hall, the Moscow City House decided to apply to law enforcement agencies with an idea of suppressing unlawful actions. The territorial election commission of Novo-Pedelkino is instructed to hold a meeting and consider this situation. In addition, MGIK instructed the territorial election commission to react to what had happened and, possibly, to remove the perpetrators from work in the commissions, as well as to carry out explanatory work among all the chairmen of the PECs. The Mosgorisbirk also asked the city hall to take measures against Antonova, if there are grounds for this.
The author of the video provided her with a note that "this is only a part (advertising video) before a multi -part film." On Saturday on Saturday, another video was published on the YouTube channel "Svetlana Antonova".
On Thursday, the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, said that the Mosgorisbirk did not fully inform the residents of the capital about the upcoming municipal elections. “There are several days left, correct the situation as much as possible so that all your huge work is not crossed out,” the head of the CEC told the chairman of the Moscow City Walentship Valentina Gorbunova.
Meanwhile, the source of Vedomosti, close to the presidential administration, said that the Moscow City Hall purposefully decided to minimize the lighting of the upcoming elections of municipal deputies, "so that only agreed candidates are passed." The decision to refuse the information support of the elections was made by the vice-mayor Anastasia Rakova, the interlocutor of the newspaper claims.
On September 10, Moscow will be held in Moscow. The nomination of candidates for mayor of Moscow in 2018 will depend on the support of deputies selected in 2017. The Movement "United Democrats" nominated 1039 candidates in 125 districts of Moscow. On the website of Dmitry Gudkov, a form has been published in which the voter can find out about candidates from the "United Democrats" in his district. As noted on the site, you need 24 to 31 percent of the vote for victory.
