The administration of Khimki failed to agree on actions dedicated to distrust of the administration four times

The administration of Khimki did not agree on four actions in a row dedicated to the distrust of the inhabitants of the administration. Andrey Malygin, deputy of the city district of Khimki, told about this to OVD-Info.

According to Malygin, since the end of August, Khimki activists and deputies have been trying to hold an action to express distrust of the policy pursued by the head of Khimki and the administration headed by him, but each time they are refused. The documents are at the disposal of OVD-Info.

The administration refused to approve the action planned for August 25 in Tolstoy Park under the pretext of the site being busy. The refusal states that on this day the closing of the festival “Lessons in the parks on acrobatic rock and roll and boogie-woogie” took place in the park, and in another place in Hyde Park, the mass sports event “Hello, school!”. However, no alternative site was offered.

After the first refusal, the activists filed a notice to hold a rally on the same topic on September 6 on the central square on Moskovskaya Street. The administration again refused, referring this time to the fact that the chosen place is a pedestrian zone, there is a gallery to them. Gorshin. As an alternative, they offered to choose from two city hyde parks - in Skhodnya and in the park named after. Tolstoy.

On November 5, the applicants tried to coordinate a picket for 20 people on the street. Moscow, but again unsuccessfully - the refusal states that the action will interfere with pedestrians, since the monument to "Saints Peter and Fevronia" is located at the venue. No alternative site was offered.

Then the activists filed a notice to hold a rally on November 11 in the same street and were again refused. This time, the administration again pointed out that the territory is not included in the list of places specially designated for actions, since there is a pedestrian zone and a monument to Saints Peter and Fevronia.

For the first two actions, the applicants applied to the Khimki city court, but it recognized the refusals as lawful. The activists will appeal these decisions and, according to Malygin, are ready to apply to the ECtHR if necessary.

“We believe that the refusals are related to the opposition agenda of events. We are in the minority in the Council of Deputies. We are not even allowed to work properly, and now they are still taking away the opportunity to publicly express our point of view. If necessary, we are ready to go all the way and apply to the ECtHR,” Malygin said.
