In Moscow, trade unions were not approved for rallies against raising the retirement age

The Moscow authorities refused to allow trade unions to agree on rallies against the pension reform, which were planned for July 18. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the head of the Department of Regional Security and Anti-Corruption in Moscow, Vladimir Chernikov.

Instead of the Boulevard Ring, Akademika Sakharov Avenue and Suvorovskaya Square, the mayor's office proposed holding actions in the Lyublino area and Sokolniki Park. Which trade unions filed notifications about the rallies, Chernikov did not specify.
