An Associated Press correspondent spoke about threats from the Central Election Commission after an interview with Ella Pamfilova

Associated Press correspondent Natalya Vasilyeva spoke at a meeting of the public board on complaints about the press about threats from the leadership of the Central Election Commission after an interview with the chairman of the department, Ella Pamfilova. It is reported by IA "Law".

According to Vasilyeva, after the release of her material, the deputy chairman of the CEC apparatus told the head of the correspondent that "Natalya will never have a career, and she will not be allowed into the Foreign Ministry, the Central Election Commission and the Kremlin."

“The Bureau sent Pamfilova a request for an interview. Not a single conversation goes according to a ready-made scenario. Pamfilova herself raised the issue of the law. Her comments on this matter became one of the leitmotifs, ”said the journalist.

In addition, Vasilyeva noted that she accepted a couple of Pamfilova's comments after the interview: "Somewhere she asked for more detailed comments, and somewhere to expand the back."

• An interview with Pamfilova on the Moscow City Duma elections was published at the end of August. The CEC accused the journalist of distorting the words of the head of the commission. “The publication gives the impression of propaganda material, which practically ignores Pamfilova’s reasoned answers to the questions asked,” the CEC said in a statement.
