Evgeny Lazarev intends to “reject” the results of the September elections to the City Duma

Today in the regional court a meeting will be held to consider the appeal of a deputy of the City of City Council of the past convocation Evgeny Lazarev, who was not allowed to be new elections in September last year. The results of today's meeting will become rotary in the traditional-predictable course of the political life of Nizhny Novgorod. Moreover, regardless of the court decision.

The basis for removing a politician from the election race was the invalidation of part of the signatures in his support. It is noteworthy that the initiator of the trial for the cancellation of the registration of Yevgeny Lazarev as a candidate for deputies of the City Duma for the constituency No. 31 was his namesake named Andrei.

Unlike the well -known Evgeny Lazarev, Andrei Lazarev is almost mythical person: he never appeared in court, and representative Alexander Slysarenko constantly acted on his behalf. In addition, when Yevgeny Lazarev, in turn, also initiated a check of the signature sheets of his “double”, it was found that most signatures in them are inaccurate and invalid. However, Andrei Lazarev was seriously not intending to participate in the elections, because after the elimination of Evgeny Lazarev, with the help of the judicial system from the political “path”, the “double” also left the game.

“ The trial was held with gross violations of the law,” says Evgeny Lazarev. -After the plaintiff’s initial arguments about the invalidity of signatures in seven signature sheets were not confirmed, the court allowed the plaintiff to adjust the claim outside the 10-day period, which violates part 2 of article 240 CAS of the Russian Federation . "

The voters who signed in support of the self -nomination of candidate Yevgeny Lazarev were ready to testify in court that they independently put these signatures. “However, the court in violation of Art. 38, paragraph 6 of Art. 76 of Federal Law No. 67-FZ, he evaded re-checking signatures in signature sheets, formally stated their invalidity and satisfied the claim for the abolition of my registration as a candidate, ” Evgeny Lazarev continues. The court of appeal filed by the court was returned as allegedly “expired”.

“There are different options regarding what date is the 10-day period for filing an appeal-from the date of the announcement of the effective court decision or from the moment the court decision is fully, ” explains Evgeny Lazarev. - When the judge announced the decision on my removal as a candidate, he directly said that the deadline for filing an appeal is within 10 days from the date of full production of the decision. This is also written in the court’s decision. ” According to the politician, these actions were taken in order to delay the process so that he could not appeal the court decision to the election.

Realizing that it is not really possible to achieve justice at the local judicial level, Evgeny Lazarev filed a cassation appeal to the first cassation court of general jurisdiction in Saratov, which restored his right to appeal the non -viability of the Nizhny Novgorod judicial machine.

“The court should not be used as a mechanism for the dishonest election game of individual candidates. Otherwise, the authority of the judiciary in the eyes of citizens is diminished, faith in justice and fair judicial protection against oppression disappears, ” says Evgeny Lazarev.

The politician sees the root of evil in violation of the principle of dividing state power into three independent branches and the obvious dominance of the executive branch: “Therefore, we are bad and live because the system does not work - the legislative power does not engage in what is prescribed by the law, the judicial power does not regulate the relationship under the law, but is guided by some other considerations that comes to the mind of the executive branch.”

If we proceed from a similar view of the political, legislative and judicial power, then the chances of Evgeny Lazarev to challenge the court decision to remove him as a candidate are very small. But at the same time, the politician is confident that today the regional court will not have any other option on how to restore his rights as a candidate in the elections to the City Duma. Apparently, still the faith of lawyer Lazarev in the triumph of justice affects: “The elections should be legal, so I hope for justice in the full sense of the word. Even if you have to achieve the truth in the Supreme Court. ”

Meanwhile, if today the court recognizes the removal of Evgeny Lazarev from the election field, then every reason arises and - most importantly - the chances of revising the results of the September elections to the City Duma. Even only one for one-31st-constituency
