The authorities of St. Petersburg did not respond within the prescribed time by the applicants of the action of the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny. According to the politician himself, this means the actual coordination of the action.
“The administration of St. Petersburg did not refuse our application. Under the law, it turns out that the rally -meeting on October 7 at 18:00 was agreed on the Marse Field,” Navalny wrote. “Today was the last day of their answer. They closed at 18:00. They didn’t answer anything, then everything is okay.”
At the same time, the Committee on the Legality of the Administration of St. Petersburg Fontanka said that the supporters of Navalny were refused a meeting on the Marse Field. They are invited to hold an action in the Vyborg region. "Activists made attempts not to get this answer, but this does not mean that it is not," the press service of the committee said.
On the eve of Navalny, he stated that he intends to meet with his supporters in St. Petersburg on October 7 , on the birthday of Vladimir Putin. According to the leader of the Party of Progress, his headquarters in St. Petersburg has long been trying to agree on a meeting, but officials of the city administration illegally refuse this. Navalny recalled that the press secretary of the city committee on legality and law and order Andrei Krasnov said last week: "Supporters of Navalny are provocateurs. In order to expand their curses, one should not gather against the backdrop of open imperial species of St. Petersburg." To meet with Navalny, Krasnov continued, except the site on the outskirts of the city may be agreed.
Therefore, Navalny noted, it was decided to do as follows. The headquarters submits a notification on October 7 at 18 o’clock a meeting on the Marse Field. “If the administration again illegally refuses us, then I just come and spend my meeting on Palace Square. And after it - a peaceful procession,” the politician wrote.
This year, Navalny spent two large -scale inconsistent promotions on Tverskaya Street in the center of Moscow - March 26 and June 12. Refusing to agree on the first of these speeches, the Moscow City Hall did not offer the opposition alternative sites. This, as Navalny noted with reference to the decision of the Constitutional Court, means that the action is automatically agreed in the place indicated by the organizers .
On June 12, the city hall agreed on the event on Sakharov Avenue. However, officials forbade contractors to mount the scene and sound amplification of the rally. In this regard , Navalny noted it late in the evening before the action, calling on in return to go out to Tverskaya inconsistently . Most of the opposition did so.
Navalny himself departed administrative arrests for each of the two shares. Meanwhile, against several ordinary participants in the events fabricated criminal cases of attacks on police and riot police. For the action on March 26, seven people were arrested. Four were condemned to real terms, the process in the fifth case continues, the sixth case was only admitted to court, and the investigation continues in relation to the seventh. For the action on June 12, cases were opened against two citizens. One is also condemned to the real term; The second case - a minor who is under house arrest - the other day was sent to court.
