Exhaustive refusal

The Presidium of the Supreme Court finally rejected the complaint of the policy of Alexei Navalny to the refusal of the Central Election Commission to register the initiative group nominating it as a candidate for president of the country. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the press service of the Armed Forces.

"The judge on January 22 decided to refuse to transfer the complaint for consideration at the hearing," the court said. Such a decision is not subject to appeal.

On December 25, 2017, the CEC illegally refused to register the initiative group to nominate politician Alexei Navalny as a presidential candidate. On December 30, the Supreme Court called the refusal legal . On January 6, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces confirmed this decision .

On January 16, Navalny appealed the law on the presidential election in the Constitutional Court . The politician indicated that part 3 of Article 32 of the Constitution deprives sufficiently only citizens who are in places of imprisonment, but not those who are serving conditional terms.

Already on January 19, the Constitutional Court refused to consider the complaint of Navalny . The KS referred to the previously made decision on the constitutionality of the norm on the ban to be elected with the criminal records, which is contained in the Law on Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights of Citizens. A similar provision of the Presidential Election Acts "reproduces the regulatory content" of this rule, and therefore, legal positions set out earlier by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation are fully extended, "the definition says. According to the judges of the Constitutional Court, the opportunity to be elected to leading posts in the state people with criminal records "creates extremely high risks for legal democracy."

After the decision of the CEC, Navalny announced the preparation of the All -Russian protest against non -competitive elections. The action is scheduled for Sunday, January 28. The essence of the “voter strikes”, the politician explained, is not to recognize Putin's “reassignment”, boycott them and campaigning for the boycott of other citizens, as well as organize observation in the areas in order to prevent falsification of the turnout. “It is finally clear that Putin and the Kremlin need only a turnout,” the politician noted.

On January 18, Navalny said that the action will be held in more than 90 cities . "In 90 percent of cases, the shares are agreed. Most often, rallies are agreed. There are more failures on processions. In half the cases where we declared a march and a rally, they coordinate only a rally," the politician noted.

The authorities of Moscow, St. Petersburg and a number of cities proposed to transfer shares to the outskirts of cities. “We regard this as an illegal refusal and we will carry out where we notified. In full accordance with the decision of the Constitutional Court,” Navalny noted. “We have submitted completely legal applications. Moreover, we submitted even a preliminary notification for a month. Any refusal will be absolutely illegal, and we will not obey him.” The politician called on January 28 to go to Moscow on Tverskaya Street.
